The notion of an anonymous shared memory (recently introduced in PODC 2017) considers that processes use different names for the same memory location. Hence, there is permanent disagreement on the location names among processes. In this…

Mutual exclusion is a classical problem in distributed computing that provides isolation among concurrent action executions that may require access to the same shared resources. Inspired by algorithmic research on distributed systems of…

We present Hemlock, a novel mutual exclusion locking algorithm that is extremely compact, requiring just one word per thread plus one word per lock, but which still provides local spinning in most circumstances, high throughput under…
