Summary¶
This library provides access to hardware and software locks for use in concurrent C programs. However, it is generally not safe to use these for marshaling within XC, due to the assumptions XC makes about safe concurrent data access.
Features¶
Hardware locks: fast and power efficient but there are a limited number per tile
Software locks: slower but an unlimited number can be used
