Said Writer to Reader. Translation as Lignification

Approximate Analysis of Reader/Writer Queues

We analyze the performance of queues that serve readers and writers. Readers are served concurrently , while writers require exclusive service. We approximately analyze a rst-come-rst-serve (FCFS) reader/writer queue, and derive simple formulae for computing waiting times and capacity under the assumption of Poisson arrivals and exponential service. We extend the analysis to handle a one-writer...

Optimal Multi - Writer Multi - Reader Atomic RegisterAmos

This paper addresses the wide gap in space complexity of atomic, multi-writer, multi-reader register implementations. While the space complexity of all previous implementations is linear, the lower bounds are logarithmic. We present two implementations which close this gap: The rst implementation uses multi-reader physical registers while the second uses single-reader physical registers. Both i...

Scalable Reader-Writer Locks for Parallel Systems

Fair Solution to the Reader-Writer-Problem with Semaphores only

The reader-writer-problem is a standard problem in concurrent programming. A resource is shared by several processes which need either inclusive reading or exclusive writing access. The known solutions to this problem typically involve a number of global counters and queues. Here a very simple algorithm is presented which needs only two semaphores for synchronisation and no other global objects...

Writer-reader contagion of inspiration and related states: Conditional process analyses within a cross-classified writer × reader framework.

A longstanding tradition in the humanities holds that a writer's inspiration is infectious, but this thesis has not been tested. We hypothesized that (a) inspiration is infectious, such that inspired writers are more inspiring to the average reader; (b) contagion is mediated by the insightfulness of the text; and (c) contagion is moderated by readers' openness to experience, such that open read...
