Memory Fences, Bartosz Milewski
1:20:50  - 10 months ago
Bartosz Milewski: Memory Fences - December 2008 meeting of the Vancouver C++ Users Group. This talk focuses on memory fences on the x86 platform and presents analysis of a simple algorithm, the Peterson lock, which, unlike the double-checked locking pattern, does not work on an x86 multicore without actual fences. The talk also includes an explanation of the approach Java and C++0x take in dealing with this problem.
