/*
Various synchronization primitives useful to mediate threads' access to shared memory.

To limit or control the threads' access to shared memory typically the following approaches are used:

- Locks
- Lock-free

When using locks, sections of the code that access shared memory (also known as
**critical sections**) are guarded by locks, allowing limited access to threads
and blocking the execution of any other threads.

In lock-free programming the data itself is organized in such a way that threads
don't intervene much. It can be done via segmenting the data between threads,
and/or by using atomic operations.
