Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

A simple multiplexing technique is shown to lead to a starvation-free process-dispatching strategy without making any assumptions about the behaviour of a process. A strong implementation of semaphores is presented using associative hardware.
