Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
Abstract. Shared counters are the key to solving a variety of coordination problems on multiprocessor machines, such as barrier synchronization and index distribution. It is desire...
Abstract--Directional antennas offer many potential advantages for wireless networks such as increased network capacity, extended transmission range and reduced energy consumption....
