Thesis: Non-blocking Synchronization and System Design

Abstract

Slides Powerpoint Internet Assistant seems to have gotten confused converting a couple of the slides to GIFS, so they are corrupted (the text versions are fine). Powerpoint has not been able to produce a printable postscript version of the slides, so for now it's not available. Sometime soon, I'll try to make a single postscript file of all the slides available.

    Selected past publications and talks

    Class library of histograms from Performance paper.

    Bibliography of references on non-blocking synchronization. This is currently incomplete, and not formatted correctly. Please view it as "in progress". I'm updating it and correcting problems as I finish my thesis.

    An older bibliography maintained by John Valois contains bibtex references on concurrent objects, lock-free data structures, mutual exclusion, wait-free synchronization, efficient spinlocks, and other related topics. It might also be of interest.
