Multithreading Implementations

A thread is a single sequential flow of control. A multithreaded program allows multiple threads of control within a process. Multithreading was developed because of the unsuitability of the process model as a unit of execution (i.e., a thread of control) for concurrent applications consisting of multiple independent tasks which had to interact with each other. Threads as we know them today wer...

Sleeping Threads: A Kernel Mechanism for Support of Efficient User Level Threads

The rapid development of modern parallel computers in the last years allows-from hardware point of view-a finer granularity of parallel algorithms. Besides faster low latency networks for message passing based architec-tures the development of shared memory systems was enforced. But particularly for these systems there is a lack of sophisticated system software. The very efficient communication...

Cost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
