ABSTRACT:
A parallel synchronization technique utilizing a combining network in which two processors synchronize by having one processor suspend operation while the other processor becomes the agent for the one processor, while continuing to operate on its own behalf. This reduces the access requests and subsequent contention caused by multiple concurrent requests to a common variable.
