IMPORTANT NOTE: If you notice that I got a haircut, it’s because I’m time traveling. These videos are from Winter quarter 2020. IT’S NOW BEEN AN ENTIRE YEAR!!
This video talks about shared memory vs message passing, and different synchronization primitives in a shared memory system.
This video talks about how to implement a barrier in a shared memory system. This implementation is going to be the motivation our next few videos about the hardware implementation of these system.
