High-Level Synchronization Tools
Abstract
The high-level thread synchronization utilities incorporated in the vath library are presented in this chapter. These utilities are high-level interfaces to synchronization patterns built with the basic libraries: Boolean locks providing event synchronization services, barriers implementing collective synchronizations among threads; ordered memory writes and reads, queues for producer-consumer synchronization patterns, and reader-writer locks providing refined mutual exclusion in some specific contexts.
