Byte-Range Asynchronous Locking in Distributed Settings

Abstract

This paper investigate a mutual exclusion algorithm on distributed systems. We introduce a new algorithm based on the Naimi-Trehel algorithm, taking advantage of the distributed approach of Naimi-Trehel while allowing to request partial locks. Such ranged locks offer a semantic close to POSIX file locking, where threads lock some parts of the shared file. We evaluate our algorithm by comparing its performance with to the original Naimi-Trehel algorithm and to a centralized mutual exclusion algorithm. The considered performance metric is the average time to obtain a lock.
