· mutex· condition variable
· reader/writer locking (optimized frequent-read occasional-write mutex)
· semaphore
POSIX implements all but reader/writer locking.
Synchronizing multiple threads diminishes their concurrency. The coarser the grain of synchronization, that is, the larger the block of code that is locked, the lesser the concurrency.
