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).
