Abstract

In an asymmetric rendezvous system, such as an unfair synchronous queue and an elimination array, threads of two types, consumers and producers, show up and are matched, each with a unique thread of the other type. Here we present a new highly scalable, high throughput asymmetric rendezvous system that outperforms prior synchronous queue and elimination array implementations under both symmetric and asymmetric workloads (more operations of one type than the other). Consequently, we also present a highly scalable elimination-based stack.
