Test and test-and-set

In computer science, the test-and-set CPU instruction is used to implement mutual exclusion in multiprocessor environments. Although a correct lock can be implemented with test-and-set, it can lead to resource contention in busy lock (caused by bus locking and cache invalidation when test-and-set operation needs to access memory atomically). To lower the overhead a more elaborate locking protocol test and test-and-set is used. Given a lock: boolean locked := false // shared lock variable Entry protocol is: procedure EnterCritical { do { while ( locked == true ) skip // spin until the lock seems free } while ( TestAndSet(locked) == true ) // attempt actual atomic locking using the test-and-set instruction} Exit protocol is: procedure ExitCritical { locked := false} The entry protocol uses normal memory reads to wait for the lock to become free. Test-and-set is only used to try to get the lock when normal memory read says it's free. Thus the expensive atomic memory operations happen less often than in a simple spin around test-and-set. If the programming language used supports short-circuit evaluation, the entry protocol could be implemented as: procedure EnterCritical { while ( locked == true or TestAndSet(locked) == true ) skip // spin until locked } (Wikipedia).

Data types

Data that are collected for statistical analysis can be classified according to their type. It is important to know what data type we are dealing with as this determines the type of statistical test to use.

Learning the One Sample t Test by Hand with Excel (10-3)

To really understand the fundamentals of statistics, it is helpful to calculate a one-sample t test by hand using formulas. To make the calculations easier, we use Excel for the math. We will use the five steps of hypothesis testing and Student's t table, to learn the test. This example us

Parametric and nonparametric tests

Parametric tests are most commonly used in healthcare research. They include tests such as Student's t-test and ANOVA. There is, however a rich set of non-parametric tests that are much more appropriate to use in certain circumstances.
