	Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, a lock is a synchronization mechanism for enforcing limits on access to a resource in an environment where there are many threads of execution.
		Locks are one way of enforcing concurrency control policies.
		Most locking designs block the execution of the process requesting the lock until it is allowed to access the locked resource.

		Computer simulation shows how a sodium ion (the small ball near the center) is transported through an ion channel in the wall of a cell.
		Computational biology is one of three areas targeted for development in a $160 million collaborative program between Cornell and its Weill Medical College and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University in New York City.
		Computational biologists are looking at every step of this process: at the raw data of the genome, how it's transformed into proteins and how proteins do their work.

	Computer Science Introduction
		Computer Science is a very young subject, changing rapidly, and drastically changing the way we live.
		The subject of computer science tends to focus on "stored program digital computers" which perform calculations upon number represented as string of digits, where the calculation is under the control of a program stored within the digital memory of the computer.
		Indeed, computers are now part of almost every aspect of modern life, having been adapted to provide flexible and efficient processing for all kinds of information, from bank accounts balances, to the state of automobile engines and brakes, to music and images for entertainment.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Reference (computer science) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In computer science, a reference is a small object containing information which refers to data elsewhere, as opposed to containing the data itself.
		It usually represents both the file itself, as when requesting a lock on the file, and a specific position within the file's content, as when reading a file.
		However, to facilitate certain low-level types of programming where necessary, many languages such as ML provide strongly-typed mutable references which can be pointed to different objects over their lifetime.

	B.S. in Computer Engineering at MSOE
		The desktop personal computer is a familiar example, but computer systems are also found in consumer appliances, industrial equipment, medical devices, cellular phones, automobiles, avionics, financial trading systems and even "smart" credit cards.
		The computer engineer, with knowledge and experience in both hardware and software, is in a unique position to contribute to the design, implementation, testing, maintenance and application of computer-based systems.
		The computer engineering program at MSOE addresses this need for a balance between hardware and software by integrating "electrical engineering" hardware topics with "computer science" software subjects.

	Seminars in Computer Science, University of Liverpool
		Modern DLs are very expressive and have been successfully applied to numerous problems in computer science, such as information integration or metadata management.
		Today's programming abstractions, such as locks, barriers, semaphores and condition variables just don't work for mainstream programmers: they're too difficult to use correctly and produce bugs which are subtle and hard to test for.
		It avoids the programmer needing to think about when to acquire and release locks, it avoids lock-induced deadlock and it avoids the scalability-vs- simplicity tradeoffs that are associated with lock-based design.

	Computer Laboratory - Practical lock-free data structures
		Through careful design and implementation it's possible to build data structures that are safe for concurrent use without needing to manage locks or block threads.
		Keir Fraser's dissertation, Practical lock freedom, presents a large number of new designs for concurrent data structures such as skip-lists, red-fl trees and binary search trees, including new lock-based designs as well as lock-free versions.
		We will be reporting on these in more detail in a forthcoming paper, but believe that they provide a convenient abstraction for developing lock-free and obstruction-free algorithms and that they admit a variety of software and hardware implementations.

		A common operation in multiprocessor programs is acquiring a lock to protect access to shared data.

		Alternatively, the thread could spin until the lock is free, or spin for a while and then block.
