  2. Lamport's distributed mutual exclusion algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport's_Distributed...

    Lamport's Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm is a contention-based algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. Algorithm. Nodal properties

  3. Maekawa's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maekawa's_Algorithm

    Maekawa's algorithm is an algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. The basis of this algorithm is a quorum -like approach where any one site needs only to seek permissions from a subset of other sites.

  4. Mutual exclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_exclusion

    In computer science, mutual exclusion is a property of concurrency control, which is instituted for the purpose of preventing race conditions. It is the requirement that one thread of execution never enters a critical section while a concurrent thread of execution is already accessing said critical section, which refers to an interval of time ...

  5. Ricart–Agrawala algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricart–Agrawala_algorithm

    The Ricart–Agrawala algorithm is an algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. This algorithm is an extension and optimization of Lamport's Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm, by removing the need for release messages. [1] It was developed by computer scientists Glenn Ricart and Ashok Agrawala.

  6. Raymond's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond's_algorithm

    Raymond's Algorithm is a lock based algorithm for mutual exclusion on a distributed system. It imposes a logical structure (a K-ary tree) on distributed resources. As defined, each node has only a single parent, to which all requests to attain the token are made.

  7. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    In computer science, a lock or mutex (from mutual exclusion) is a synchronization primitive that prevents state from being modified or accessed by multiple threads of execution at once. Locks enforce mutual exclusion concurrency control policies, and with a variety of possible methods there exist multiple unique implementations for different ...

  8. Lamport's bakery algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport's_bakery_algorithm

    Lamport's bakery algorithm is a computer algorithm devised by computer scientist Leslie Lamport, as part of his long study of the formal correctness of concurrent systems, which is intended to improve the safety in the usage of shared resources among multiple threads by means of mutual exclusion.

  9. Distributed algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_algorithm

    Mutual exclusion Non-blocking data structures Reliable Broadcast Reliable broadcast is a communication primitive in distributed systems. A reliable broadcast is defined by the following properties: Validity - if a correct process sends a message, then some correct process will eventually deliver that message.
