Generic Synchronization Policies in C++ - http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0201357526,00.html
Most uses of synchronization code in multi-threaded applications fall into a small number of high-level ?usage patterns?, or what can be called generic synchronization policies (GSPs). This paper illustrates how the use of such GSPs simplify the writing of thread-safe classes. In addition, this paper presents a C++ class library that implements commonly-used GSPs.

Lock-free Interprocess Communication - http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0201357526,00.html
Interprocess communication is an essential component of modern software engineering. Often, lock-free IPC is accomplished via special processor commands. This article propose a communication type that requires only atomic writing of processor word from processor cache into main memory and atomic processor word reading from main memory into the processor register or processor cache.

Maximize Locality, Minimize Contention - http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0201357526,00.html
Explains why in the concurrent world, locality is a first-order issue that trumps most other performance considerations. Now locality is no longer just about fitting well into cache and RAM, but to avoid scalability busters by keeping tightly coupled data physically close together and separately used data far, far apart.
