Talk:Thundering herd problem

Unclearly written

For example the second sentence refers to "the resource" but it is not explained what is "the resource". I can guess that the resource can be a resource which could be used just by single process at time. --pabouk (talk) 06:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

It is generic term used in OS articles and books. resource is anything which is managed by os, to be shared among (potentially) multiple users. Like file, socket, socket buffer, or lock, timers, events or memory location which should be used by only one thread at time, etc. etc. It ca refer to anything including structures in kernel holding some informations for OS or processes or hardware. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.4.254.149 (talk) 11:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
