Two-enqueuer queue in Common2
Abstract
Description
The question of whether all shared objects with consensus number 2 belong to Common2, the set of objects that can be implemented in a wait-free manner by any type of consensus number 2, was first posed by Herlihy. In the absence of general results, several researchers have obtained implementations for restricted-concurrency versions of FIFO queues. We present the first Common2 algorithm for a queue with two enqueuers and any number of dequeuers.
