About lockfree queues

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Hello,


I have come to an interresting subject about lockfree queues,
if you take a look at those lockfree queues, like in transactional 
memory, if the data have changed those lockfree queue retries and loop 
again, but this (lockfree) mechanism generates a lot of cache-coherence 
traffic, so i will not advice this lockfree mechanism, so how
can we do it ? you can take a look at the MCS queue Lock , i
think they are doing it like a waitfree linklist that doesn't spin and
that reduces a lot the cache-coherence traffic, other than that
if your memory manager is not optimal and uses a lockfree mechanism and 
generates a lot cache-coherence traffic, so you have to use a freelist 
to lower the cache coherence traffic.


So be smart please and think about that.


Thank youi,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
