Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This note,using a definition of a sequential process which is based on the concepts of states and state variables, provides a common framework for the discussion of various existing techniques for allowing a set of sequential processes to interact. The techniques discussed include Test and Set-type operations, Dijkstra's P and V operations and the co-routine mechanism.
