Shared-Memory Synchronization, 2nd Edition by Michael L. Scott, Trevor Brown
Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: This book offers a comprehensive survey of shared-memory synchronization, with an emphasis on “systems-level” issues. It includes sufficient coverage of architectural details to understand correctness and performance on modern multicore machines, and sufficient coverage of higher-level issues to understand how synchronization is embedded in modern programming languages. The primary intended audience for this book is “systems programmers”—the authors of operating systems, library packages, language run-time systems, concurrent data structures, and server and utility programs. Much of the discussion should also be of interest to application programmers who want to make good use of the synchronization mechanisms available to them, and to computer architects who want to understand the ramifications of their design decisions on systems-level code. This second edition, published roughly a decade after the original, has numerous small improvements throughout—clarifications, bug fixes, and references to newer work. It also incorporates two major updates. First, we have re-worked and clarified the memory model and notation used in our examples. In particular, we now employ explicit load and store operations for all accesses to shared (atomic) variables, and we have adopted the C++ convention of making such accesses fully ordered (sequentially consistent) unless otherwise noted. These conventions necessitated changes to most of our algorithmic pseudocode.
