	Monitor (synchronization) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A monitor is an approach to synchronizing two or more computer tasks that use a shared resource, usually a hardware device or a set of variables.
		In early monitor implementations, notifying a condition variable caused a waiting process to receive the lock and run immediately, thereby guaranteeing that the condition would still be true.
		C# does not have monitors as a feature of the language, although the.NET framework has a class that facilitates implementation of Java-style monitors by hand.

	[No title]
		Monitors were chosen for the simulation, because of the emergence of the Java language, which uses monitor concepts for its synchronization.
		A monitor is a synchronization construct that enforces mutual exclusion.
		The behavior of the monitor is determined by the relative priorities and queue disciplines of the three monitor queues.

	Performance monitor synchronization in a multiprocessor system - US Patent 6480966 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Monitoring the performance of multiprocessor systems through the use of the timestamp and the performance counter facilities is difficult unless the performance monitors of each processor in the system are synchronized (i.e., simultaneously reset or set to a known value).
		Synchronization ensures that the timestamp register and performance counters of each processor are measuring events that occur in the same period of time.
		In one embodiment, the values set in the lead processor performance monitors are offset from the value set in the slave processor performance monitors, preferably by an offset that is indicative of the delay required for the synchronization signal to propagate from the lead processor to the slave processor.

	Method for detecting a number of consecutive valid data frames and advancing into a lock mode to monitor ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Frame synchronization data is transferred to the memory buffer module 32 and a frame synchronization completion command is input to the VME module 34.
		When those synchronization words are identified with the predetermined number of bits or less in error in the synchronization window, then the sequence advances to the fly wheel mode 118 to again monitor for synchronization patterns falling within a synchronization window.
		The frame synchronization module 122 transfers data on line 123 to a DRAM buffer 128 that is the primary element for transfer of data in the memory buffer module 32.

	Motor monitor synchronization system - Patent 4716351
		A magnetic field motor monitor as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means for controlling the frequency of the clock source is arranged to alter the clock frequency in a direction which tends to reduce variations of the frequency of the source of clock pulses relative to that of the periodic external signal.
		A magnetic field motor monitor as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means for detecting a fixed phase of said periodic external signal detects the zero crossing of the periodic external signal, and said time difference is determined between the occurrence of said timing signal and the detected zero crossing of the periodic external signal.
		It is known to use a phase-locked loop to synchronise digital circuitry to an external signal but, particularly when there is a large ratio between the operating frequency of the digital circuitry and that to which the circuitry is to be synchronised, the cost of the synchronisation circuit is high.

	Synchronizing Execution and Resolving Contention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Alternatively, one of the synchronization primitives (such as a mutex) can be locked in the calling program just before the called program is entered and then unlocked when the called program has returned.
		A solution to this problem would be given by a synchronization primitive that enabled multiple threads to be active in read-only critical sections but prevented any other access when a thread is active in a write-critical section; such a synchronization primitive is the monitor.
		A semaphore is a synchronization primitive that acts like a gate that lowers to prevent passage of a thread through code and raises to enable passage (of another thread) through that code.

	MONITORs in Concurrent Programming
		Monitors provide a structured concurrent programming primitive, which is used by processes to ensure exclusive access to resources, and for synchronizing and communicating among users.
		To synchronize tasks within the monitor, a condition variable is used to delay processes executing in a monitor.
		In addition, a monitor solution is more structured than the one with semaphores because the data and procedures are encapsulated in a single module and that the mutual exclusion is provided automatically by the implementation.

		These errors, called synchronization errors, are caused when multiple threads attempt to access the same shared resource at the same time.
		Monitor offers the advantages of being simple, flexible enough to operate on blocks of code rather than entire classes or methods, and fast compared to other alternatives.
		Second, if one thread is suspended at the entrance to a Monitor block that was set by another thread that has subsequently been suspended at the entrance to a Monitor block set by the first thread, both threads will be suspended indefinitely, each waiting for the other to release it.

		As a simple example, consider a monitor for performing transactions on a bank account (A fund that a customer has entrusted to a bank and from which they can make withdrawals).
		This makes monitors safer and more reliable than approaches that require the programmer to insert locking and unlocking operations by hand, since the programmer can forget them.
		C# (additional info and facts about C#) does not have monitors as a feature of the language, although the.NET (additional info and facts about.NET) framework has a class that facilitates implementation of Java-style monitors by hand.

		Synchronization objects are named, and the name is visible throughout the system, not just in the creating process.
		A monitor is a synchronization object which can be locked for read, browse, and write operations.
		A synchronization object was still locked upon thread termination and when the thread was created the program requested an error to be reported if this condition occurred.

	Thread Synchronization and the Java Monitor
		A monitor region is code that needs to be executed as one indivisible operation with respect to a particular monitor.
		The kind of monitor used in the Java virtual machine is sometimes called a Signal and Continue monitor because after a thread does a notify (the signal) it retains ownership of the monitor and continues executing the monitor region (the continue).
		If no thread currently owns the monitor and no other threads are waiting in the entry set, the thread passes immediately through the next door, door number two, and becomes the owner of the monitor.

	java.net: Java Tech: The ABCs of Synchronization, Part 1
		But if a thread is already inside of the monitor, the monitor makes the calling thread wait outside of the monitor until the other thread leaves the monitor.
		A synchronized method is a method that serves as a monitor entry.
		In contrast to the synchronized method, a synchronized statement is a monitor entry with a (usually) smaller critical section.

	Nachos - Synchronization
		The representation of a monitor type consists of declarations of variables whose values define the state of an instance of the type, as well as the bodies of procedures or functions that implement operations on the type.
		Only one process may be executing in the monitor at a time; any other process that has invoked the monitor is suspended, waiting for the monitor to become available.
		A monitor supports synchronization by the use of condition variables that are contained within the monitor and accessible only within the monitor.

	Documentation
		In the power-off state, the power consumption of the monitor is less than 5 W. The only way to isolate the monitor completely from the main supply is to unplug the main lead.
		The monitor's power switch is turned off or the monitor is disconnected from the main outlet.
		If color defect is repeated without the monitor having been moved, it is possible that the monitor is influenced by a strong electric interference field.

	Concurrent Programming Using the Java Language
		Monitors also have condition variables, on which a thread can wait if conditions are not right for it to continue executing in the monitor.
		In the former, a signaling thread must leave the monitor immediately, at which point it is guaranteed that the signaled thread is the next one in the monitor.
		In contrast to named condition variables, it is not possible with this notification technique to wait in the middle of a monitor service method for a signal and then continue executing inside the monitor service method at that point after receiving the signal.

		Then, when a method is called to synchronize access to the object, the CLR finds a free SyncBlock in its cache and sets the object's SyncBlockIndex to refer to the SyncBlock.
		When no more threads are synchronizing access to the object, the object's SyncBlockIndex is reset to a negative number, and the SyncBlock is free to be associated with another object in the future.
