Yes both the queuing mutex and the spin mutex can be used to implement monitors ala Per Brinch Hansenand as such you could use them to write functions to enqueue and dequeue elements in parallel. Or you could just use the TBB concurrent_queue, which has the monitors built in to provide thread safe enqueue/dequeue functions.
