Brief Announcement: Asymmetric Mutual Exclusion for RDMA
Document Type
Conference Paper
Abstract
In this brief announcement, we define operation asymmetry, which captures how processes may interact with an object differently, and discuss its implications in the context of a popular network communication technology, remote direct memory access (RDMA). Then, we present a novel approach to mutual exclusion for RDMA-based distributed synchronization under operation asymmetry. Our approach avoids RDMA loopback for local processes and guarantees starvation-freedom and fairness.
