Extending Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithms to Support Multithreading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional distributed mutual exclusion algorithms fail to support multithreaded environments. In such systems, a single node could have several pending requests, each issued by a different thread. In this paper we present extensions to five distributed mutual exclusion algorithms. These extensions were developed by exploiting some common characteristics shared by the algorithms. Our approach is general, in the sense that we extend the behavior of general data structures, instead of extending each algorithm separately. We include a performance analysis emphasizing the impact of per-node multithreading on the extended algorithms.

An Improved Token-Based and Starvation Free Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm
Distributed mutual exclusion is a fundamental problem of distributed systems that coordinates the access to critical shared resources. It concerns with how the various distributed processes access to the shared resources in a mutually exclusive manner. This paper presents fully distributed improved token based mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed system. In this algorithm, a process which...
متن کاملA survey of permission-based distributed mutual exclusion algorithms
The problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems has attracted considerable attention over the last two decades. The mutual exclusion problem requires that, at a time, only one of the contending processes be allowed to enter its critical section (CS). A number of solutions have been provided to the mutual exclusion problem in distributed systems. Different algorithms have used different t...
متن کاملAutomatic Mutual Exclusion and Atomicity Checks
This paper provides an introduction to the Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME) programming model and to its formal study, through the AME calculus. AME resembles cooperative multithreading; in the intended implementations, however, software transactional memory supports the concurrent execution of atomic fragments. This paper also studies simple dynamic and static mechanisms for atomicity checks i...
متن کاملComparative Study of Mutual Exclusion Algorithms in Distributed Systems
Mutual Exclusion is an important phenomenon in distributed systems. In this paper, we analyze and compare various mutual exclusion algorithms in distributed systems. In permission based mutual exclusion process waits for permission from other processes to enter into a critical section. In token based mutual exclusion, a special message called token is passed over the system and process holding ...
متن کاملQuorum-Based Mutual Exclusion Algorithms: A Survey
The development of highly complex software, communication interfaces and the presence of low-cost processors are key factors towards the design of distributed applications. By distributing a computation, processes are permitted to run concurrently, share resources among themselves and at the same time working independent of each other. Distributed computations that involve sharing of resources ...
