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.
