PAPERS & barrier def'n

[Bohn Christopher A Capt AFRL/IFSD]

A barrier is used to synchronize processes.  If you need multiple processes
to all be at a certain point in their execution at the same time (e.g., to
prevent race conditions), barrier synchronization is generally what you'll
want.  Compare/contrast this with the implicit synchronization that happens
when you block for communication.

Take care,
