Abstract

Known asynchronous n-process deadlock-free mutual exclusion algorithms require 0{n) read/write registers and 0(n) operations to access the critical region, rendering them impractical for large scale applications. Burns and Lynch have shown that n registers are necessary for solving this problem, in the asynchronous setting.
