Spinlock versus Semaphore

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/195853/spinlock-versus-semaphore

a spinlock is a busy operation that possibly burns CPU cycles for a long time maybe forever while it effectively achieves.. times so if a lock can be acquired by burning a few cycles spinning this may overall very well be more efficient. Also.. the overhead of acquiring the spinlock is a mere dozen cycles as compared to hundreds thousands of cycles for a context switch..
