Scalability Techniques for Practical Synchronization Primitives.

The article looks at synchronization primitives, or locks, which allow for concurrent execution of multiple threads through the use of a mutual exclusion concurrency control policy. It indicates that poorly designed locks can cause performance problems as software applications are scaled up for use...
