Abstract

This paper presents a solution to the first-in, first out l-exclusion problem of [FLBB79]. Unlike the solution in [FLBB79], this solution is achieved without the use of powerful read-modify-write synchronization primitives, and it requires only bounded size shared memory. Moreover, this solution has the extra property of being first-in, first-enabled, a property which subsumes first-in, first-out. Use of the concurrent time-stamp system of [DS89] is key in solving the problem within bounded size shared memory.
