I suggest you look at the manual apges for usinit(3P), usplock, uspsema,
barrier, m_fork

These are all located in libmpc.a - a full libc with you favorite
routines (stdio, malloc, rand)
single threaded, as well as a set of parallel programming facilities -
semaphores (counting)
spinlocks, barriers.
