By OS event, I really mean system level objects(mutex,semaphore,event,...), i.e. provided by OS. So I
could make do things like non-blocking system calls. Also if I have two Java processes running.
I could let them share these objects.
Because I don't have access to the source code, I can not really see the Thread model and implementation
used by Java.
