Parallel random access memory, or PRAM, is a now venerable model of parallel computation that that still retains its usefulness for the design and analysis of parallel algorithms....
A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
Concurrent Action-Oriented Specifications (CAOS) model the behavior of a synchronous hardware circuit as asynchronous guarded at an abstraction level higher than the Register Tran...
We describe a scheduler based on the microeconomic paradigm for scheduling on-line a set of parallel jobs in a multiprocessor system. In addition to increasing the system throughpu...
