  • Method of synchronization
    Patent number: 6330619
    Abstract: A method for synchronization of concurrently running processes, in which, before it starts, each process is assigned a memory word which can be changed only by this process but can be read by all the other processes involved. This memory word is incremented twice for each synchronization step. Before each incrementation, a process waits until the memory word assigned to it is less than or equal to the values in the other memory words.
