It is not uncommon in parallel workloads to encounter shared data structures with read-mostly access patterns, where operations that update data are infrequent and most operations are read-only. Typically, data consistency is guaranteed using mutual ...

Atomic sections are a recent and popular idiom to support the development of concurrent programs. Updates performed within an atomic section should not be visible to other threads until the atomic section has been executed entirely. Traditionally, ...

Cache coherence protocols based on self-invalidation allow simpler hardware implementation compared to traditional write-invalidation protocols, by relying on data-race-free semantics and applying self-invalidation on synchronization points. Their ...
