I dint completed the whole one except till first of spin lock... But it was on of the most simplest and understandable words i ever heared and understood related to parallel computing.I would be pleasured to learn all the concepts of parallel computing form you..Hope i get all the articles am in need off...Thanks alot... Keep writing.... Hello fren…

I have gone through the article , its very good for brgineer . Can you provide me some idea on how the threading and mutual exclusion is handled in Linux o/s ? What are the differences as compared to windows ? Can you send some good links or book names ? Thanks And Regards Hi ,

As per as my knowledge is concerned, in uniprocessor , we should use mutex and in multiprocessor, we should use spin lock.?? Please explain is it right or wrong? Can you please tel me when the mutex and spinlock is useful,

I mean, in case of uniprocessor and multiprocessor environment.

As per as my knowledge is concerned, in uniprocessor , we should use mutex and in multiprocessor, we should use spin lock.??

Please explain is it right or wrong?

Beware that this is an optional part and does not need to be provided by all implementations. @vgdti: pthreads supports spinlocks now, look here for the description.

I am just wondering if Pthread really supports the spinlocks as what your said "It depends on your threading system, which lock-variant is provided to you. Pthreads for example used to have only mutexes, but now provides both." Thanks for the nice article.
