Locking without Blocking: Making Lock Based Concurrent Data Structure Algorithms Nonblocking
Summary: Instruction-by-instruction transformation that converts most lock-based, deadlock-free concurrent data-structure algorithms into nonblocking equivalents while preserving semantics. Constant per-operation overhead and no loss of concurrency in failure-free runs, avoiding wholesale rewrites. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
