NOBLE: non-blocking programming support via lock-free shared abstract data types
University of Borås, School of Business and IT. (CSL@BS)
2009 (English)In: SIGARCH Computer Architecture News, ISSN 0163-5964, E-ISSN 1943-5851, Vol. 36, no 5, p. 80-87Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

An essential part of programming for multi-core and multi-processor includes ef cient and reliable means for sharing data. Lock-free data structures are known as very suitable for this purpose, although experienced to be very complex to design. In this paper, we present a software library of non-blocking abstract data types that have been designed to facilitate lock-free programming for non-experts. The system provides: i) ef cient implementations of the most commonly used data types in concurrent and sequential software design, ii) a lock-free memory management system, and iii) a run time-system. The library provides clear semantics that are at least as strong as those of corresponding lock-based implementations of the respective data types. Our software library can be used for facilitating lockfree programming; its design enables the programmer to: i) replace lock-based components of sequential or parallel code easily and ef ciently , ii) use well-tuned concurrent algorithms inside a software or hardware transactional system. In the paper we describe the design and functionality of the system. We also provide experimental results that show that the library can considerably improve the performance of software systems.
