ABSTRACT:
An algorithm for preventing starving threads in a counting semaphore for a computer operating system. The algorithm operates in a stealing mode where threads can steal resources from other threads if none of the threads is starving, and operates in a first-in first-out mode if one or more of the threads becomes starving.
