Mutex lock; Mutually-exclusive; Mutual exclusion rule; MutEx
<parallel, operating system> (Or "mutex", plural: "mutexes") A collection of techniques for sharing resources so that different uses do not conflict and cause unwanted interactions. One of the most commonly used techniques for mutual exclusion is the semaphore. (1995-04-08)

PROPERTY OF CONCURRENCY CONTROL, WHICH IS INSTITUTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PREVENTING RACE CONDITIONS
Mutex lock; Mutually-exclusive; Mutual exclusion rule; MutEx
In computer science, mutual exclusion is a property of concurrency control, which is instituted for the purpose of preventing race conditions. It is the requirement that one thread of execution never enters a critical section while a concurrent thread of execution is already accessing said critical section, which refers to an interval of time during which a thread of execution accesses a shared resource or shared memory.

Lock (computer science)

In computer science, a lock or mutex (from mutual exclusion) is a synchronization primitive: a mechanism that enforces limits on access to a resource when there are many threads of execution. A lock is designed to enforce a mutual exclusion concurrency control policy, and with a variety of possible methods there exists multiple unique implementations for different applications.
