Maybe "reference model" was too strong. Where do most of you get your
ideas for what SMP synchronization should look like in FreeBSD? From
Solaris? OSF/1? Somewhere else?
Since my only threaded/multi-CPU-aware code has all been written in
Windows NT, I'd like to find out what a "good" Unix synchronization
implementation looks like.
