We present in this article a theoretical study and performance results about the impact of the Grid architecture on token-based mutual exclusion algorithms. To this end, both the o...
In this paper, we evaluated various distributed mutual exclusion algorithms on the IBM SP2 machine and the Intel iPSC/860 system. The empirical results are compared in terms of su...
Device Locks are mechanisms used in distributed environments to facilitate mutual exclusion of shared resources. They can further be used to maintain coherence of data that is cac...

With the properties of autonomy, social ability, reactivity and pro-activeness, agents can be used to represent entities in distributed simulations, where fast and accurate decisi...
In distributed shared memory multiprocessors, remote memory references generate processor-to-memory traffic, which may result in a bottleneck. It is therefore important to design ...
