MxTasks: How to Make Efficient Synchronization and Prefetching Easy

Summary: MxTasking: a task-based framework to simplify latch-free, parallel data structures. By tightening OS–application information exchange, it enables hardware- and application-aware synchronization and prefetching, easing resource management on modern multicore, multi-socket systems.
