Stamp-it, amortized constant-time memory reclamation in comparison to five other schemes

The memory reclamation problem is to determine, for any given allocated memory node, when there are no more references to the node, allowing it to be safely returned to the memory management system. In a concurrent context, the memory reclamation ...

Lock-free data-structures are widely employed in practice, yet designing lock-free memory reclamation for them is notoriously difficult. In particular, all known lock-free reclamation schemes are ``manual'' in the sense that the developer has to ...

Achieving high performance for concurrent applications on modern multiprocessors remains challenging. Many programmers avoid locking to improve performance, while others replace locks with non-blocking synchronization to protect against deadlock, ...
