Yehuda Afek – Hardware Lock Elision with Improved Concurrency
We present a simple yet effective technique for improving performance of lock-based code using the hardware lock elision (HLE) feature in Intel’s upcoming Haswell processor. We also describe how to extend Haswell’s HLE mechanism to achieve a similar effect to our lock elision scheme entirely in hardware.
Eli Gafni – Title and abstract to be announced
George Giakkoupis – Randomized loose renaming in O(loglog n) time
Michel Raynal – s-Simultaneous consensus vs k-set agreement
