Abstract

Operating system kernels typically offer a fixed set of mechanisms and primitves. However, the attainment high of performance for a variety parallel application requires the availability of reconfigurable and extensible operattng system kernel primitives. In this paper, we present an implementation of multiprocessor locks that can be reconfigured dynamically.
