  2. Mutual exclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_exclusion

    This problem (called a race condition) can be avoided by using the requirement of mutual exclusion to ensure that simultaneous updates to the same part of the list cannot occur. The term mutual exclusion is also used in reference to the simultaneous writing of a memory address by one thread while the aforementioned memory address is being ...

  3. Dekker's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekker's_algorithm

    Dekker's algorithm is the first known correct solution to the mutual exclusion problem in concurrent programming where processes only communicate via shared memory. The solution is attributed to Dutch mathematician Th. J. Dekker by Edsger W. Dijkstra in an unpublished paper on sequential process descriptions [1] and his manuscript on cooperating sequential processes. [2]

  4. Raymond's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond's_algorithm

    Raymond's Algorithm is a lock based algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. It imposes a logical structure (a K-ary tree ) on distributed resources. As defined, each node has only a single parent, to which all requests to attain the token are made.

  5. Maekawa's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maekawa's_Algorithm

    Maekawa's algorithm is an algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. The basis of this algorithm is a quorum -like approach where any one site needs only to seek permissions from a subset of other sites.

  6. Peterson's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterson's_algorithm

    Peterson's algorithm (or Peterson's solution) is a concurrent programming algorithm for mutual exclusion that allows two or more processes to share a single-use resource without conflict, using only shared memory for communication.

  8. Lamport's bakery algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport's_bakery_algorithm

    Lamport's bakery algorithm is a computer algorithm devised by computer scientist Leslie Lamport, as part of his long study of the formal correctness of concurrent systems, which is intended to improve the safety in the usage of shared resources among multiple threads by means of mutual exclusion.

  9. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    In computer science, a lock or mutex (from mutual exclusion) is a synchronization primitive that prevents state from being modified or accessed by multiple threads of execution at once. Locks enforce mutual exclusion concurrency control policies, and with a variety of possible methods there exist multiple unique implementations for different ...
