Algorithms for mutual exclusion
@inproceedings{Raynal1986AlgorithmsFM, title={Algorithms for mutual exclusion}, author={M. Raynal and D. Beeson}, year={1986} }
The problem of mutual exclusion - or of defining fundamental operations so that it is possible to resolve conflicts resulting from several concurrent processes sharing the resources of a computer system - has emerged over the last 20 years as a prime example of the difficulties associated with parallel or distributed programming. The implementation of a mutual exclusion mechanism, therefore, is a very real phenomenon that faces every designer of operating systems as well as applications… CONTINUE READING
