Abstract
The Santa Claus problem provides an excellent exercise in concurrent pro- gramming and can be used to show the simplicity or complexity of solving problems using a particular set of concurrency mechanisms and offers a comparison of these mechanisms. Shared-memory constructs, message passing constructs, and process ori- ented constructs will be used in various programming languages to solve the Santa Claus Problem. Various concurrency mechanisms available will be examined and an- alyzed as to their respective strengths and weaknesses.
