Scalable busy-wait synchronization algorithms are essential for achieving good parallel program performance on large scale multiprocessors. Such algorithms include mutual exclusio...

Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than explicit coarse...
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...

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