Foil 92 The TreadMarks Interface

From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part I:Concepts and Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox
TreadMarks provides primitives similar to those used in hardware shared memory machines.
Application processes synchronise via two primitives: barriers and mutex locks.
Barriers
The routine Tmk_barrier(i) stalls the calling process until all processes in the system have arrived at the same barrier.
