Achieving high performance for concurrent applications on modern multiprocessors remains
challenging. Many programmers avoid locking to improve performance, while others replace …

Barriers, locks, and flags are synchronizing operations widely used programmers and
parallelizing compilers to produce race-free parallel programs. Often times, these operations …

This monograph grows out of nearly 40 years of experience in synchronization and
concurrent data structures. Though written primarily from the perspective of systems …

Coordination and synchronization of parallel tasks is a major source of complexity in parallel
