创建并发队列

let concurrentQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "queuename", attributes: .concurrent)
concurrentQueue.sync {

}  

创建一个串行队列

let serialQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "queuename")
serialQueue.sync { 

}

异步获取主队列

DispatchQueue.main.async {

}

同步获取主队列

DispatchQueue.main.sync {

}

获取一个背景线程

DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {

}

Xcode 8.2 beta 2:

获取一个背景线程

DispatchQueue.global(qos: .default).async {

}

DispatchQueue.global().async {
    // qos' default value is ´DispatchQoS.QoSClass.default`
}

现在很简单:

let serialQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "my serial queue")

默认值是serial，要获得concurrent，可以使用可选属性参数.concurrent

你可以在swift 3.0中使用这段代码创建调度队列

DispatchQueue.main.async
 {
   /*Write your code here*/
 }

   /* or */

let delayTime = DispatchTime.now() + Double(Int64(0.5 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))) / Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)                   
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: delayTime)
{
  /*Write your code here*/
}

在XCode 8编译，Swift 3 https://github.com/rpthomas/Jedisware

 @IBAction func tap(_ sender: AnyObject) {

    let thisEmail = "emailaddress.com"
    let thisPassword = "myPassword" 

    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {

        // Validate user input

        let result = self.validate(thisEmail, password: thisPassword)

        // Go back to the main thread to update the UI
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            if !result
            {
                self.displayFailureAlert()
            }

        }
    }

}

DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
   // code
})
