Scalable Spin Locks for Multiprogrammed Systems
Synchronization primitives for large shared-memory multiprocessors need to minimize latency and contention. Software queue-based locks address these goals, but suffer if a process...

Preemption Adaptivity in Time-Published Queue-Based Spin Locks
Abstract. The proliferation of multiprocessor servers and multithreaded applications has increased the demand for high-performance synchronization. Traditional scheduler-based lock...

Latency Impact on Spin-Lock Algorithms for Modern Shared Memory Multiprocessors
In 2006, John Mellor-Crummey and Michael Scott received the Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing. This prize was for their 1991 paper on algorithms for scalable synchronization ...

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...
