On the Performance of Dijkstra's Third Self-stabilizing Algorithm for Mutual Exclusion
In [Dij74] Dijkstra introduced the notion of self-stabilizing algorithms, and presented three such algorithms for the problem of mutual exclusion on a ring of processors. The thir...

Empirical Evaluation of Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithms
In this paper, we evaluated various distributed mutual exclusion algorithms on the IBM SP2 machine and the Intel iPSC/860 system. The empirical results are compared in terms of su...
