Accelerating critical section execution with asymmetric multicore architectures

View publication

Abstract

Contention for critical sections can reduce performance and scalability by causing thread serialization. The proposed accelerated critical sections mechanism reduces this limitation. ACS executes critical sections on the high-performance core of an asymmetric chip multiprocessor (ACMP), which can execute them faster than the smaller cores can. © 2006 IEEE.
