Phase Fair and Standard Reader Writer Locks

rwlock

Reader Writer Locks

Initialze locks to all bytes zero. Compile with -D STANDALONE to add benchmarking main module. Run the benchmark with two parameters: # of threads and lock-type. The benchmark consists of 1000000 lock/work/unlock calls divided by the number of threads specified. 500x Ratio of Read Locks to Write Locks.

readerwriter.c: linux/Windows spinlock/phase-fair:

0: type 0   pthread/SRW system rwlocks
1: type 1	Phase-Fair FIFO simple rwlock
2: type 2	Mutex based, neither FIFO nor Fair
3: type 3	FIFO and Phase-Fair Brandenburg spin lock

Usage: ./readerwriter #thrds lockType
0: sizeof RWLock0: 56
1: sizeof RWLock1: 8
2: sizeof RWLock2: 4
3: sizeof RWLock3: 8

Sample linux 3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64 output: (times are in usecs per call of lock/unlock pair)

rwfutex.c: Four Linux only versions that utilize futex calls on contention.

0: type 0   pthread/SRW system rwlocks
1: type 1   Not FIFO nor Phase-Fair
2: type 2	FIFO and Phase-Fair Brandenburg futex rwlock
3: type 3	Not FIFO nor Phase-Fair Mutex based rwlock

0: sizeof SystemLatch: 56
