Experiences with Locking in a NUMA Multiprocessor Operating System Kernel
We describe the lockingarchitecture of a new operating system, HURRICANE, designed for large scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Many papers already describe kernel lockingtechni...

An Experimental Evaluation of Processor Pool-Based Scheduling for Shared-Memory NUMA Multiprocessors
In this paper we describe the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a technique for operating system schedulers called processor pool-based scheduling [51]. Our tec...

Preemption Adaptivity in Time-Published Queue-Based Spin Locks
Abstract. The proliferation of multiprocessor servers and multithreaded applications has increased the demand for high-performance synchronization. Traditional scheduler-based lock...

Scalable Spin Locks for Multiprogrammed Systems
Synchronization primitives for large shared-memory multiprocessors need to minimize latency and contention. Software queue-based locks address these goals, but suffer if a process...
