// The barrier.c and barrier.h files are part of the GIET-VM nano-kernel.
// This user-level library provides a synchronisation service between several
// tasks sharing the same address space in a parallel multi-tasks application.
//
// There is actually two types of barriers:
// 1) The "giet_barrier_t" is a simple sense-reversing barrier.
//    It can be safely used several times (in a loop for example),
//    but it does not scale, and should not be used when the number
//    of tasks is larger than few tens.
//
// 2) The giet_sqt_barrier_t" can be used in multi-clusters architectures,
//    and is implemented as a physically distributed Synchro-Quad-Tree (SQT).
//    WARNING: The following placement constraints must be respected:
//    - The number of involved tasks in a cluster is the same in all clusters.
//    - The involved clusters form a mesh[x_size * y_size]
//    - The lower left involved cluster is cluster(0,0)  
//
// Neither the barrier_init(), nor the barrier_wait() function require a syscall.
// For both types of barriers, the barrier initialisation should be done by
// one single task.
