Abstract
A method for controlling sharing of resources in a multi-threaded environment includes entering a finite state machine state sequence; controlling resource-sharing threads using the finite state machine state sequence; and exiting the finite state machine state sequence when shared resource control is complete. A multi-threaded shared resource control system includes a finite state machine configured to control multi-threaded access to shared resources; a plurality of producer threads regulated by the finite state machine; and a plurality of consumer threads regulated by the finite state machine. A non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer system to execute a method for controlling sharing of resources in a multi-threaded environment includes entering a finite state machine state sequence; controlling resource-sharing threads using the finite state machine state sequence; and exiting the finite state machine state sequence when shared resource control is complete.
