Reader-Writer Synchronization for Shared-Memory Multiprocessor Real-Time Systems
Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair readerwriter locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. A new phase-fair reader-writer lock i...

Architectural Support for Fair Reader-Writer Locking
Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...

Spin-based reader-writer synchronization for multiprocessor real-time systems
Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair reader-writer locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. Phase-fair reader writer locks, a ne...

Hierarchical Backoff Locks for Nonuniform Communication Architectures
This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...

Scalable reader-writer locks
We present three new reader-writer lock algorithms that scale under high read-only contention. Many previous reader-writer locks suffer significant degradation when many readers a...
