nt programs require high-level abstractions in order to manage complexity and enable compositional reasoning. In this paper, we introduce a novel concurrency abstraction, dubbed t...
Scalable busy-wait synchronization algorithms are essential for achieving good parallel program performance on large scale multiprocessors. Such algorithms include mutual exclusio...

In this paper, we describe recent work in developing a peer-topeer collaborative environment. The study examines various locking mechanisms/policies by adjusting the granularity o...
