A turn-oriented thread and/or process synchronization facility obtains a ticket value from a monotonically increasing ticket counter and waits until a memory location contains a value equal to the ticket value, yielding the processor between polls of the memory location only if a difference between the ticket value and the contents of the memory location exceeds a threshold value. Machine-readable media containing instructions to implement similar methods, and systems that can use the methods, are also described and claimed. |
