Abstract :
The paper discusses a problem of the use of semaphores to solve parallel programming problems. It proposes a new semaphore mechanism of extended features. An example of an application of such a semaphore for controlling a technological process is introduced and discussed. Simulation results and advantages of applying the new mechanism are presented.
