hi all , i have a small doubt : Is it possible to have synchronization between processes running on different processors in a SMP without any harware support for that. I mean can we implement mutual exclusion in access of shared data without any 'lock ' prefix , or atomic_swap , or atomic test_and_set instructions in the instruction set of the machine. If yes then How ?? Thanks, Rgds , Pankaj chauhan ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Mobile: Download the latest polyphonic ringtones.
