    CIS 700, Fall 1998, Special Topics in Distributed Systems and Concurrent Programming: Non-blocking Synchronization

    Bibliography of references on non-blocking synchronization. This is incomplete and not always formatted correctly. Please view it as "in progress". I'm updating it and correcting problems incrementally.

    An older bibliography maintained by John Valois contains bibtex references on concurrent objects, lock-free data structures, mutual exclusion, wait-free synchronization, efficient spinlocks, and other related topics. It might also be of interest.
