Monitors are a synchronization construct which allows to keep a thread waiting until a specific resource for that thread is available. One potential problem with these constructs is starvation; a situation where a thread, competing for a resource, ...
Multi-threaded programs have traditionally fallen into one of two domains: cooperative and competitive. These two domains have traditionally remained mostly disjoint, with cooperative threading used for increasing throughput in compute-intensive ...
Motivated by the increasing shift to multicore computers, recent work has developed language support for responsive parallel applications that mix compute-intensive tasks with latency-sensitive, usually interactive, tasks. These developments include ...
