Using Queues: Sleeping Instead of Spinning
Explore how to implement efficient concurrency locks by using queues combined with operating system calls such as park and unpark to put threads to sleep instead of spinning. Understand how this approach controls lock acquisition order, reduces CPU waste, and avoids common problems like starvation, waiting race conditions, and priority inversion in multithreaded environments.
