Abstract
In Chapter 3 we introduced the task. The tasks in all of the examples in that chapter were independent. They did not share any resources nor did they communicate with each other. As suggested by the cooking examples of Chapter 1, the solution to most parallel problems requires cooperation among tasks. Such cooperation involves communication, mutual exclusion, and synchronization. Communication is the exchange of data or control signals between processes. Mutual exclusion is a mechanism that prevents two processes from simultaneously using the same resource. Synchronization ensures that multiple processes working on a job complete the steps of that job in the correct order. There are two approaches for communication among processes. In this chapter we look at indirect communication via shared objects. In Chapter 5, we'll look at direct communication via Ada's rendezvous mechanism.
