....support, certain atomic primitives such as compare swap which non blocking synchronization is based on, can be implemented efficiently in a standard instruction set [18] supporting more common synchronization primitives such as test and set or some other atomic swap instruction. Scratchley [13] gave a Smalltalk based implementation of Herlihy s wait free (non blocking) universal object algorithm. Although the given implementation too expensive to be of practical use, it illustrates that object oriented programming provides a very natural and intuitive style of programming concurrent ....
