Primes¶
- Bottleneck
- Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
- Concurrency
- Concurrency separates the elapsed time of the entire system from the execution time of any single process. Supports responsiveness: concurrent systems can be interrupted, context-switched, or reordered without forcing the entire system to wait on a single slow operation. Requires explicit coordination: mutexes, semaphores, condition variables, barriers, and other synchronization primitives make coordination visible and analyzable. Scales reasoning: as the number of concurrent agents grows, reasoning about arbitrary interleavings becomes intractable; concurrency forces architects to identify truly independent regions and narrow synchronization interfaces
This sourceStandard distributed-systems text; treats decomposition into concurrent components and narrowing synchronization interfaces. SUPPORTS marker 053 (scaling reasoning: identifying truly independent regions and narrow synchronization interfaces). Link is the official book site. NOTE: the 5th edition author list is 'Coulouris, Dollimore, Kindberg, & Blair' (Blair added; Dollimore/Kindberg order differs from the prime's 'Coulouris, Kindberg, & Dollimore'). Minor citation-fix.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
