The insanely scalable ReaderWriterGate lock(msdn2.microsoft.com)

submitted by JudahGabriel(783) 3 years, 9 months ago

Wintellect's Jeffrey Richter, the Win32 threading guru, has written a library containing a new kind of lock: the ReaderWriterGate. Unlike other locks, this lock is highly scalable and fast with very few thread context switches. Works well with ASP.NET web apps as well.

Oldie, but not too many folks know about this lock or the other high-performance threading tools inside the PowerThreading lib. Definitely worth your while.

I knew Jeffrey wrote a killer ReaderWriterLock implementation (and I thought he sold it to MS) then ReaderWriterLockSlim was released in 3.5.
I wonder how this differs from ReaderWriterLockSlim if this is an old article.

Aaah, Jeffrey Richter. I fell in love with him when I read his great romance novel, CLR Via C#. I read a chapter out of that book every night before I go to bed.

RE CVertex: The .NET 3.5 ReaderWriterLockSlim is an entirely different implementation of a reader writer lock; it is by no means the same as the ReaderWriterGate discussed in the article.
