    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that ensures that progress is made in an environment that supports execution of obstruction-free operations. During execution, when a process pi invokes an operation, the system checks a panic flag, which indicates whether a progress-ensuring mechanism is to be activated. If the panic flag is set, the progress-ensuring mechanism is activated, which causes the system to attempt to perform the operation by coordinating actions between processes to ensure that progress is made in spite of contention between the processes. On the other hand, if the panic flag is not set, the system attempts to perform the operation essentially as if the progress-ensuring mechanism were not present. In this case, if there is an indication that contention between processes is impeding progress, the system sets the panic flag, which causes the progress-ensuring mechanism to be activated so that processes will coordinate their actions to ensure that progress is made.

    摘要: The design of nonblocking linked data structures using single-location synchronization primitives such as compare-and-swap (CAS) is a complex affair that often requires severe restrictions on the way pointers are used. One way to address this problem is to provide stronger synchronization operations, for example, ones that atomically modify one memory location while simultaneously verifying the contents of others. We provide a simple and highly efficient nonblocking implementation of such an operation: an atomic k-word-compare single-swap operation (KCSS). Our implementation is obstruction-free. As a result, it is highly efficient in the uncontended case and relies on contention management mechanisms in the contended cases. It allows linked data structure manipulation without the complexity and restrictions of other solutions. Additionally, as a building block of some implementations of our techniques, we have developed the first nonblocking software implementation of load-linked/store-conditional that does not severely restrict word size.
