  • Flow lookahead in an ordered semaphore management subsystem
    Patent number: 7917908
    Abstract: In an ordered semaphore management system a pending state allows threads not competing for a locked semaphore to bypass one or more threads waiting for the same locked semaphore. The number of pending levels determines the number of consecutive threads vying for the same locked semaphore which can be bypassed. When more than one level is provided the pending levels are prioritized in the queued order.
