Condition variables help fix order-violations (e.g., ensuring threads wait for a certain condition before proceeding). Locking mechanisms like mutexes and semaphores help fix atomicity-violations (e.g ...

Abstract: A model of a multiprocessing, multiprogramming computer system with serially reusable programs was developed to study the effect of serial programs on system performance. Two strategies for ...

Even as semiconductor companies tend toward multiprocessing solutions in many network as well as embedded consumer and mobile designs, the RTOSes and development tools are still rushing to catch up ...
