Improving the throughput of synchronization by insertion of delays
Proceedings Sixth International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture. HPCA-6 (Cat. No.PR00550)
Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor and interprocessor communication may further compromise the scalability of these primitives. Ideally, synchronization primitives should provide high performance under both high and low contention without requiring substantial programmer effort and software support. QOLB has been shown to offer substantial speedups and
