I cover Chapter 2 in some detail , but then go fairly rapidly through the other chapters in Part 1 , emphasizing topics not covered in the OS classes : Test and Test and Set , the Ticket Algorithm , barriers , passing the baton for semaphores , some of the monitor programming techniques , and the multiprocessor kernel . The CRI utilities consist of command procedures for creating the files needed to use the shared memory ; for compiling and liking a multitasking program ; for starting the logical processors on the physical processors after the time specified by submitting the job ( s ) to the selected generic batch queue and , optionally , interactively relinquishing control to the multiprocessor debugger ; and for removing jobs from the batch queue and , optionally , unmapping specified global sections from shared memory . This leaves the vendor with plenty of space in the multiprocessor market to grow its market share , she added . The non-blocking work-stealing algorithm of Arora , Blumofe , and Plaxton [ 2 ] ( henceforth ABP work-stealing ) is on its way to becoming the multiprocessor load balancing technology of choice in both industry and academia . The lab also hosts a linux based Beowulf cluster with 16 compute nodes , a high-speed switch and a Front-End Server which enables all users to remotely login to the multiprocessor system .
