A global barrier synchronizes all processors in a parallel system. This paper investigates algorithms that allow disjoint subsets of processors to synchronize independently and in...

Barrier synchronization is a crucial operation for parallel systems. Many schemes have been proposed in the literature to achieve fast barrier synchronization through software, ha...

This work deals with efficient barrier synchronization for wireless cluster computing where nodes communicate with each other wirelessly in one or multiple hops. Such a computing ...
Abstract Barrier synchronizations can be very expensive on multiprogramming environment because no process can go past a barrier until all the processes have arrived. If a process ...
Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
