Detailed Description

Global events and related declarations.

A global event is an event that occurs across all threads, i.e., globally. It consists of a set of "local" (regular) Events, one per thread/event queue, a barrier object, and common state. The local events are scheduled for the same tick. The local event process() method enters the barrier to wait for other threads; once all threads reach that tick (and enter the associated barrier), the global event is triggered and its associated activity is performed.

There are two basic global event patterns, GlobalEvent and GlobalSyncEvent. GlobalEvent is the base class for typical global events, while GlobalSyncEvent is optimized for global synchronization operations.
