Abstract:
The present invention provides for notifying threads. A determination is made whether there is a condition for which a thread is to be notified. If so, a notification indicia is broadcasted. A flag is set in at least one memory storage area as a function of the notification indicia wherein the setting the flag occurs without the intervention of an operating system. Therefore, latencies for notification of threads are minimized.
