Greetings, comp.parallel readers. My name is Isaac Dimitrovsky, and I've
been doing some independent research in parallel computing. I've come up
with a synchronization method called the group lock. This method is
applicable to shared memory CREW multiprocessors. It may be used to
construct efficient algorithms for parallel queues, stacks, parallel
dynamic memory allocation, fetch-and-phi operations, and other problems.
I have until now worked mostly in theory. I'm now interested in
programming and experimenting with the group lock on actual parallel
machines. Therefore, I'm asking those of you who can provide me
with access to their parallel systems, and who may be interested
in having the group lock programmed for those systems, to contact
me through email. The class of systems that the group lock can be
implemented on would probably include all commercial shared memory
MIMD multiprocessors.
For a detailed description of how the group lock works and what it
can be used for, you can look at the April 1991 issue of the JPDC
(v11 #4, pp. 291-302).
