Given the sequential implementation of any data structure, we show how to obtain an efficient, wait-free implementation of that data structure shared by any fixed number of proces...
The memory subsystem accounts for a significant portion of the aggregate energy budget of contemporary embedded systems. Moreover, there exists a large potential for optimizing th...
