| Abstract: |
allows a set of processes to operate cyclically on a set of shared resources (e.g. I/O buffers). Each process is allowed to proceed at its own speed, subject only to a synchronization condition that it does not operate simultaneously on a resource with any member of the next (cyclic) subset of processes. |
