Synchronizing communication primitives for a shared memory programming model

Vladimir Vlassov and Lars-Erik Thorelli

Abstract
In this article we concentrate on semantics of operations on synchronizing shared memory that provide useful primitives for shared memory access and update. The operations are a part of a new shared-memory programming model called mEDA. The main goal of this research is to provide a flexible, effective and relatively simple model of inter-process communication and synchronization via synchronizing shared memory.
