A distributed control algorithm, called MEAL, is presented for achieving mutual exclusion in a distributed computing environment. It requires only (N + 2) messages per critical section entry, in the no failures case; N being the number of nodes in the distributed system. Few assertions are ...
Mutual exclusion is a fundamental synchronization technique in computer science used to ensure that shared variables are accessed by only one thread at a time, thereby preventing conflicts and maintaining thread safety. AI generated definition based on: Shared Memory Application Programming, 2016 ...
mutual exclusion Also found in:Acronyms,Wikipedia. (parallel, operating system) (Or "mutex", plural: "mutexes") A collection of techniques for sharing resources so that different uses do not conflict and cause unwanted interactions. One of the most commonly used techniques for mutual exclusion is...

Recent advances in non-volatile main memory (NVM) technology have spurred research on algorithms that are resilient to intermittent failures that cause processes to crash and subsequently restart. In this paper we present a Recoverable Mutual Exclusion (RME) algorithm that supports abortability. Our ...
Self-stabilizing protocol for mutual exclusion among neighboring nodes in tree structured distributed system. Parallel algorithms and applications 58 - Antonoiu, Srimani - 1999Antonoiu, G., Srimani, P.K.: Self-stabilizing protocol for mutual exclusion among neighboring nodes in a tree structured ...
Mutual exclusion, a key factor in deadlock scenarios, arises when processes contend for exclusive access to resources. In this context, if one process holds a resource, another must wait, creating a potential deadlock. This condition, coupled with other factors like hold and wait, no preemption...

2. Mutual exclusion and semaphores We introduce the mutual exclusion problem in Sect. 2.1. Its progress requirements are described in Sect. 2.2. Atomicity of commands is discussed in Sect. 2.3. Section 2.4 introduces plain semaphores, and shows how they can be used for mutual exclusion. In ...
In this paper, we propose a scheme for solving the k-mutual exclusion problem in a distributed system, which is a generalization of the quorum based scheme for solving the distributed mutual exclusion problem. The proposed scheme uses a set of weighted quorums as the underlying structure, which...
