(foldoc) | critical mass
In physics, the minimum amount of fissionable material
required to sustain a chain reaction. Of a software product,
describes a condition of the software such that fixing one bug
introduces one plus epsilon bugs. (This malady has many
causes: creeping featurism, ports to too many disparate
environments, poor initial design, etc.) When software
achieves critical mass, it can never be fixed; it can only be
discarded and rewritten.

critical section
(foldoc) | critical section

one process at a time. It will usually terminate in bounded
time and a process will only have to wait a bounded time to
enter it. Some synchronisation mechanism is required at the
entry and exit of the critical section to ensure exclusive
use.
