7// The barrier.c and barrier.h files are part of the GIET-VM nano-kernel.
8// This user-level library provides a synchronisation service between several
9// tasks sharing the same address space in a parallel multi-tasks application.
10//
11// There is actually two types of barriers:
12// 1) The "giet_barrier_t" is a simple sense-reversing barrier.
13//    It can be safely used several times (in a loop for example),
14//    but it does not scale, and should not be used when the number
15//    of tasks is larger than few tens.
16//
17// 2) The giet_sbt_barrier_t" can be used in multi-clusters architectures,
18//    and is implemented as a physically distributed Sliced-Binary-Tree (SBT).
19//    WARNING: The following placement constraints must be respected:
20//    - The number of tasks must be a power of 2.
21//    - There is one task per processor in a given cluster.
22//    - The involved clusters form a mesh[N][N] or a mesh[N][N/2]
23//    - The lower left involved cluster is cluster(0,0) 
24//
25// Neither the barrier_init(), nor the barrier_wait() function require a syscall.
26// For both types of barriers, the barrier initialisation should be done by
27// one single task.
