Here's the previois posting with accurate order info: A while back I posted tables comparing synchronization primitive implementations on a number of processors to comp.arch. A number of people requested the actual survey, and I asked them to wait until it was a technical report. Well, I finally finished my MS, "Synchronization Primitive Implementation, including the Bus Abandonment Lock". The first half, the survey, background information, is available as the technical report CRHC91-7. Order info/address below. (The second part, the trivial but original work, has not yet been made into a report). Sorry it took so long. Hope it helps someone. By the way, I am moderately interested in periodically updating this "Survey of Synchronization Primitives" to reflect changes in the state of the practice. If you have information to add, please do (for example, the R4000 stuff was only recently added, and probably is in the TR, but not my MS). Order info: Report number: CRHC91-7 Report title: Frankly, I've forgotten, but it should be something like "A Survey of Synchronization Primitive Implementations" Address: UIUC CRHC technical reports: Carolin Rouse 5-111 CSL Center for Reliable and High-performance Computing Coordinated Sciences Laboratory University of Illinois 1101 W. Springfield Urbana, Illinois 61801 carolin@crhc.uiuc.edu 217-244-7171 NB: I am no longer at the University of Illinois, and I cannot mail you copies myself. I don't have the source code online where I am now, so I cannot email or ftp copies to you. You'll have to try and get it from the University of Illinois. -- Andy Glew, glew@mipon2.intel.com Intel Corp., M/S JF1-19, 5200 NE Elam Young Parkway, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124-6497 -- Andy Glew, glew@mipon2.intel.com Intel Corp., M/S JF1-19, 5200 NE Elam Young Parkway, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124-6497
