Survey of Primitives for Synchronization
Assignment
7a. Survey of primitives for synchronization Section 7.3 of Solihin covers the need for synchronization at the program level. It mentions lock and unlock operations. But real programs do not usually call lock and unlock mechanisms. Instead, they use higher-level operations, such as Java’s synchronized statement, or Open MP pragmas. Consider popular languages and common OSs such as Linux, MacOS, and Windows. How would programs do synchronization in these environments?
