Contention in shared memory algorithms.

Contention in shared memory algorithms.

Most complexity measures for concurrent algorithms for asynchronous shared-memory architectures focus on process steps and memory consumption. In practice, however, performance of multiprocessor algorithms is heavily influenced by contention, the extent to which processess access the same location a...
