We present a technique for automatically adding fine-grain
\nlocking to an abstract data type that is implemented using a
\ndynamic forest \u2014i.e., the data structures may be mutated,
\neven to the point of violating forestness temporarily during
\nthe execution of a method of the ADT. Our automatic
\ntechnique is based on Domination Locking, a novel locking
\nprotocol. Domination locking is designed specifically
\nfor software concurrency control, and in particular is designed
\nfor object-oriented software with destructive pointer
\nupdates. Domination locking is a strict generalization of existing
\nlocking protocols for dynamically changing graphs.
\nWe show our technique can successfully add fine-grain
\nlocking to libraries where manually performing locking is
\nextremely challenging. We show that automatic fine-grain
\nlocking is more efficient than coarse-grain locking, and obtains
\nsimilar performance to hand-crafted fine-grain locking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
