A Distributed K-Mutual Exclusion Algorithm
This paper presents a token-based K-mutual exchsion algorithm. The algorithm uses K tokens and a dynamic forest structure for each token. This structure is used to forward token r...

Inferential queueing and speculative push for reducing critical communication latencies
Communication latencies within critical sections constitute a major bottleneck in some classes of emerging parallel workloads. In this paper, we argue for the use of Inferentially...

A Dynamic Group Mutual Exclusion Algorithm Using Surrogate-Quorums
The group mutual exclusion problem extends the traditional mutual exclusion problem by associating a type with each critical section. In this problem, processes requesting critica...

Transactional memory for smalltalk
Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...

Detecting and tolerating asymmetric races
Because data races represent a hard-to-manage class of errors in concurrent programs, numerous approaches to detect them have been proposed and evaluated. We specifically consider...
