Optimistic Concurrency with OPTIK

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis

We introduce OPTIK, a new practical design pattern for designing and implementing fast and scalable concurrent data structures. OPTIK relies on the commonly-used technique of version numbers for detecting conflicting concurrent operations. We show how to i ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos, Jelena Antic

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

Leveraging Hardware Message Passing for Efficient Thread Synchronization

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Darko Petrovic

As the level of parallelism in manycore processors keeps increasing, providing efficient mechanisms for thread synchronization in concurrent programs is becoming a major concern. On cache-coherent shared-memory processors, synchronization efficiency is ult ...

Concurrent Tries with Efficient Non-Blocking Snapshots

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We describe a non-blocking concurrent hash trie based on shared-memory single-word compare-and-swap instructions. The hash trie supports standard mutable lock-free operations such as insertion, removal, lookup and their conditional variants. To ensure spac ...

STM in the Small: Trading Generality for Performance in Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

Data structures implemented using software transactional memory (STM) have a reputation for being much slower than data structures implemented directly from low-level primitives such as atomic compare-and-swap (CAS). In this paper we present a specialized ...

Laws of Order: Expensive Synchronization in Concurrent Algorithms Cannot be Eliminated

Rachid Guerraoui, Hagit Albo Attiya

Building correct and efﬁcient concurrent algorithms is known to be a difﬁcult problem of fundamental importance. To achieve ef- ﬁciency, designers try to remove unnecessary and costly synchro- nization. However, not only is this manual trial-and-error proc ...

Transaction Polymorphism

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

Concurrent implementations of abstract types usually rely on lock-free primitives or locks and are highly tuned to support a finite set of efficient operations. However, it is very hard to extend such types for specific needs by adding new operations. The ...

Speculative Linearizability

Rachid Guerraoui, Viktor Kuncak, Giuliano Losa

Linearizability is a key design methodology for reasoning about implementations of concurrent abstract data types in both shared memory and message passing systems. It provides the illusion that operations execute sequentially and fault-free, despite the a ...
