# The DLM is for Application Developers

- ## With NT today, application developers have several synchronization primitives:

  - Interlocked functions
  - WaitFor*Object (Single/Multiple)
  - Mutexes
  - Semaphores
  - Events
  - Critical Sections (for threads within a process)

- ## These are all designed for thread and process synchronization within a single system
