Hello,


I have just read the following about Intel TSX:

"At the moment, TSX is quite slow, even if there's no contention and you 
don't do anything in the block. There's a lot of overhead. Using TSX 
naively may slow down even threaded code. Getting significant 
performance gains from it is non-trivial."


read more here a little bit down the webpage:

So i think my newer scalable distributed sequential lock is
faster than Intel TSX on read-mostly scenarios, also my newer algorithm 
is kind of general synchronization mechanism because it works with both 
memory and hardisk.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
