On many computers, a request to run a job is not serviced immediately but instead is placed in a queue and serviced only when resources are released by preceding jobs. In this pape...
A consistency protocol can be termed symmetric if all processors are treated identically when they access common resources. By contrast, asymmetric protocols usually assign a home...
