The perceived advantages of distributed systems, such as increased reliability and availability, are o set by the increased complexity of developing such applications. The develop...
We report on a case study in which SAL model checkers have been used to analyze the Suzuki-Kasami distributed mutual exclusion algorithm with respect to the mutual exclusion prope...
In this paper we examine how application performance scales on a state-of-the-art shared virtual memory (SVM) system on a cluster with 64 processors, comprising 4-way SMPs connect...

We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
Abstract. This paper presents the first formal verification of the RicartAgrawala algorithm [RA81] for distributed mutual exclusion of an arbitrary number of nodes. It uses the Tem...
