Ex 1 – Dedicated Operating Systems – INE5424 – UFSC

Exercise 1
Idle-waiting Thread Joining
– It have as an objective to change the method “join” of a Thread. It was implemented like this:

[code lang=”c”] while(_state != FINISHING)
yield();
[/code]

This method consist in verify the state of the Thread that is joined, if the state is different from FINISHING, it calls yield(). This solution cause an overhead, because it do this verification all the time that the process is Phased. We should implement a new function, that don`t cause this overhead.

  1. nextgentrendzone nextgentrendzone

    Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at nextgentrendzone extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  2. echogrovecollective echogrovecollective

    Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at echogrovecollective produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

  3. prismwing prismwing

    Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at prismwing continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  4. arctools arctools

    Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at arctools maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
