Summary:The article discusses another article in the issue, "Scalable Synchronous Queues," by William N. Scherer, Doug Lea, and Michael L. Scott, which examines concurrent data structures found in multicore computer architecture. Under-engineered data structures can prevent individually well-engineered parts in the computer from performing well together, the author indicates. Also discussed is the importance of the design of concurrent data structures.
