Our algorithm is a cas variation of herlihys llsc methodology for lockfree. Infoq homepage presentations lockfree algorithms for ultimate performance upcoming conference. In tests, recent lockfree data structures surpass their locked counterparts by a large margin 9. However, all prior lockfree algorithms for sets and hash tables suffer from serious drawbacks that prevent or limit their use in practice. We empirically demonstrate the scalability of our algorithms for a setup with thousands of requests per second on a 24 thread server. By treating the lockfree critical section as a lockfree transaction, tlr provides transac. A garbagecollected environment is a plus because it has the means to stop and inspect all threads, but if you want deterministic destruction, you need. Such lockfree data structures can be immune from performance degradation due. In this thesis, we present lockfree data structures, algorithms, and memory. The new algorithm offers significant advantages over prior lockfree shared deque algorithms with respect to performance and the strength of required primitives.
