I'm sure it's been asked here before but I'm having trouble finding it. I've also seen the few Intel related tutorials around but for some reason I'm just not getting this.

Thread questions concerning synchronization

I'm continuing my journey of thread programming with the current game I'm working on and I have a question.
This issue is moot with a single processor system however I'm wondering out of curiosity. On a multi-processor system with 2 diff... |

I'm working on a game using threads to handle various parts of AI but the threads will have common data elements that will be shared between them.

This should be a simple enough question but I can't seem to find anything on the web or searching through the forums.
