	~~<!-- Enter~~ a ~~1 paragraph description of the contents of the lecture~~. ~~Make sure to include any key concepts, so that the wiki search feature will pick them up~~ -->		Early control systems used carefully synchronized control loops to insure that control processes ran at a fixed clock cycle and with predictable timing. Modern multi-threaded control environments use much looser timing models and provide non-deterministic execution, but provide advantages in terms of programming flexibility and processor utilization. In this lecture we focus on the [[Pthreads]] programming environment, which provides a standardized API for managing process threads and mutexes (to resolve data access conflicts).
