RemoteSemaphore(n::Int, pid=myid())
A RemoteSemaphore
is a counting semaphore that lives on a particular process in order to control access to a resource from multiple processes.
It is implemented using the unexported Base.Semaphore
stored inside a Future
which is only accessed on the process it was initialized on.
Like Base.Semaphore
, it implements acquire
and release
, and is not thread-safe.
