In computer science, mutual exclusion is a property of concurrency control, which is instituted for the purpose of preventing race conditions. It is the requirement that one thread of execution never enters a critical section while a concurrent thread of execution is already accessing said critical section, which refers to an interval of time ...
Mutual Pharmaceutical Co. v. Bartlett, 570 U.S. 472 (2013), is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States holding that generic drug manufactures cannot be held liable under state law for not adequately labeling medication when federal law prohibits them from changing the label from the original brand name drug.
Szymański's Mutual Exclusion Algorithm is a mutual exclusion algorithm devised by computer scientist Dr. Bolesław Szymański, which has many favorable properties including linear wait, [1] [2] and which extension [3] solved the open problem posted by Leslie Lamport [4] whether there is an algorithm with a constant number of communication bits per process that satisfies every reasonable ...
The rule of mutual exclusion in molecular spectroscopy relates the observation of molecular vibrations to molecular symmetry. It states that no normal modes can be both Infrared and Raman active in a molecule that possesses a center of symmetry .
Mutual Exclusion Principle [ edit ] The Critical section problem can be solved by employing a principle called mutual exclusion which supply stated means that only one of the processes is allowed to execute in its critical section at a time; that is, no two processes can be under execution simultaneously inside a critial section .
Automatic mutual exclusion is a parallel computing programming paradigm in which threads are divided into atomic chunks, and the atomic execution of the chunks automatically parallelized using transactional memory.
In logic, two propositions and are mutually exclusive if it is not logically possible for them to be true at the same time; that is, () is a tautology. To say that more than two propositions are mutually exclusive, depending on the context, means either 1. "() () is a tautology" (it is not logically possible for more than one proposition to be true) or 2. "() is a tautology" (it is not ...
