Question
[edit]what is process synchronization and explain its need with suitable example
guarded suspension
[edit]Would guarded suspension qualify as an entry to the list of mechanisms invented for process synchronization? In its case, one process waits for a condition to become true. This condition can only change by means of another (concurrently) running process, thereby making sure that two or more processes are synchronized with respect to the portion of data they are accessing. --Abdull (talk) 11:42, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I am missing "Message Queueing" and "Publish/Subscribe" to solve synchronisation here.
[edit]this article is good. But still I see some parts which could be improved.

I was trying to find a page describing the general idea of what OS/360 and successors call Event Control Block, or more commonly ECB. That is, the data structure used for synchronization. That goes along with the WAIT and POST macro instructions to synchronize things. So, for example, when doing asynchronous I/O, the task starts an I/O operation, and later uses WAIT to test whether it is done. The task doing the I/O does POST on the ECB when it is done. Seems like a similar system would be used by other OS. Otherwise, OS/360 and successors, through z/OS, could be added to the list of OS. Gah4 (talk) 04:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
