- /*
- 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.
