Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair reader-writer locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. Phase-fair reader writer locks, a ne...
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...

Abstract. This paper explores the feasibility of re-expressing concurrent algorithms with explicit locks in terms of lock free code written using Haskell's implementation of s...

We describe the lockingarchitecture of a new operating system, HURRICANE, designed for large scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Many papers already describe kernel lockingtechni...
