Abstract

We present the first adaptive algorithm for N-process mutual exclusion under read/write atomicity in which all busy waiting is by local spinning. In our algorithm, each process p performs O(min(k, log N)) remote memory references to enter and exit. its critical section, where k is the maximum point contention experienced by p. The space complexity of our algorithm is ?(N), which is clearly optimal.
