This paper describes two design patterns that are powerful tools to help teach how semaphores are used to solve synchronization problems. The patterns are general enough to be use...
Abstract. It has been already verified that hardware-supported finegrain synchronization provides a significant performance improvement over coarse-grained synchronization mecha...

Developing computer systems that are both concurrent and evolving is challenging. To guarantee consistent access to resources by concurrent software components, some synchronizatio...
Undergraduates are usually introduced to synchronization in operating systems through a discussion of classical problems such as reader-writer or producers-consumers. The traditio...
