Synopsis
Excerpt from Efficient Synchronization Algorithms Using Fetch and Add on Multiple Bitfield Integers
Harrison (see [harrison 86, has proposed the use of combining positive bitfield increments to special add and X processors which would have been substituted for memory. These add and x processors would directly support synchronizations primitives. The value returned by an add and X operation would indicate the state of some lock rather than the actual value of a memory cell modified by fetch-and-add. In contrast, the algorithms presented in this paper do not utilize any special hardware except fetch-and-add.

Efficient Synchronization Algorithms Using Fetch and Add on Multiple Bitfield
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents several new algorithms for efficient interprocess synchronization using fetch-and-add. The techniques described in this book utilize the storage and manipulation of more than one state variable in a single machine integer using fetch-and-add. This allows for significant time savings over other algorithms which need to determine state information in several accesses and sometimes requiring additional locking mechanisms. Synchronization tools for MIMD shared memory computers are critically important for the success of such systems, and the author of this book has been an active participant in the development of these ideas. The deeper thematic material in this book includes combining positive bitfield increments to special add and " processors that would have been substituted for memory. These add and " processors would directly support synchronization primitives. By contrast, the algorithms presented in this book do not utilize any special hardware except fetch-and-add. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
