Synchronization primitives
|
|
|
|
This package implements various synchronization primitives that can be used to
|
|
synchronize threads' access to shared memory.
|
|
|
|
To limit or control the threads' access to shared memory typically the
|
|
following approaches are used:
|
|
|
|
- Locks
|
|
- Lock-free
|
|
|
|
When using locks, sections of the code that access shared memory (also known as
|
|
**critical sections**) are guarded by locks, allowing limited access to threads
|
|
and blocking the execution of any other threads.
|
|
|
|
In lock-free programming the data itself is organized in such a way that threads
|
|
don't intervene much. It can be done via segmenting the data between threads,
|
|
and/or by using atomic operations.
