Analyzing lock contention in multithreaded applications
Many programs exploit shared-memory parallelism using multithreading. Threaded codes typically use locks to coordinate access to shared data. In many cases, contention for locks r...

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...

Fast Synchronization on Scalable Cache-Coherent Multiprocessors using Hybrid Primitives
This paper presents a new methodology for implementing fast synchronization on scalable cache-coherent multiprocessors, through the use of hybrid primitives. Hybrid primitives lev...
