 AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a type of reentrant tachycardia (fast rhythm) of the heart.
It is a supraventricular tachycardia, meaning that it involves the atria (upper chambers) of the heart.
This is because the AV node is an essential portion of the reentrant circuit in AVNRT.

 Reacquiring a Lock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Java runtime environment allows a thread to reacquire a lock because the locks are reentrant.
Reentrant locks are important because they eliminate the possibility of a single thread having to wait for a lock that it already holds.
In platforms that don't support reentrant locks, this sequence of method calls causes a deadlock.

 Reentrant Functions
Reentrant functions are often required in real-time applications or in situations where interrupt code and non-interrupt code must share a function.
Reentrant functions use the default memory model to determine which memory space to use for the reentrant stack.
The reentrant stack simulation architecture is inefficient, but necessary due to a lack of suitable addressing methods available on the 8051.

 REENTRANT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A computer program or routine is described as reentrant if it is designed such that a single copy of the program's instructions in memory can be shared by multiple users or separate processes.
The key to the design of a reentrant program is to ensure that no portion of the program code is modified by the different users/processes, and that process-unique information is kept in a separate area of memory that is distinct for each user or process.

The better solution is to write (or rewrite) all of your routines so they get all their data from a pointer (variable) that is passed to them by the calling routine.
If you try to go back and fix routines to be reentrant, then you learn that one routine's state was dependent on another routine's state -- and you have to fix the other routine too, which is dependent on another, and so on.
The problem was to take the time to do it right, and make the entire toolbox reentrant and make it so that it would add value to users (and not just be a check box on some marketing literature).

 Reentrancy in Embedded Systems Development
Reentrant functions, AKA "pure code", are often falsely thought to be any code that does not modify itself.
A function is reentrant if, while it is being executed, it can be re-invoked by itself, or by any other routine, by interrupting the present execution for a while.
Given a halfway decent CPU it's not too hard to write reentrant code from scratch (decent stack resources are the biggest requirement), but I've found that it is almost impossible to make a big impure program reentrant.

 Postgraduate Medicine: Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Symposium: Reentrant tachycardias
In 1956 the concept was demonstrated in an animal model, and reentry through two discrete pathways was reported to be the cause of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (6).
In a less common form of reentrant tachycardia, the direction of impulse transmission is reversed.
Unfortunately, typical AV nodal reentrant tachycardia can be mimicked by several supraventricular tachycardias, including atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia with fixed and uniform blocked conduction, reentrant tachycardia with impulses traveling down the AV node and returning to the atrium via an accessory pathway, orthodromic transmission, and automatic nonreentrant junctional tachycardia.

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, abbreviated AVNRT, is the most common cause of supraventricular tachycardia.

 Can ARM code be relocatable/reentrant?
'armcc -apcs /reentrant' tells the compiler to compile position-independent code with all static data addressed as fixed offsets from a separate 'static base' register (r9 - or 'sb'), and all code and data address constants are moved into r/w data instead of being located in literal pools in the code.
Therefore, we advise you not to use '-apcs /reentrant' for new projects.
For existing projects which use '-apcs /reentrant', please note that SDT 2.50/2.51 armlink does not support linking of 'apcs /reentrant' objects, so the SDT 2.11a linker must be used instead.

 Programmer's Guide
A reentrant routine is the ideal thread-safe routine, but not all routines can be made to be reentrant.
In this case, the routine is not considered reentrant, but it is still thread safe.
The reentrancy of the actual code generated by the C compiler is determined only by proper use of reentrant coding practices by the programmer, by use of only thread-safe support libraries, and by use of only thread-safe support libraries - not by any special options.
