Abstract

This article presents a solution to the first-come, first-enabled[Formulla Omitted]-exclusionproblem of Fischer et al. [1979]. Unlike their solution, thissolution does not use powerful read-modify-write synchronizationprimitives and requires only bounded shared memory. Use of the concurrent timestamp system of Dolevand Shavir [1989] is key in solving the problem within bounded sharedmemory.
