Performance Analysis and Modelling of Concurrent Multi-access Data Structures

The major impediment to scaling concurrent data structures is memory contention when accessing shared data structure access-points, leading to thread serialisation, hindering parallelism. Aiming to address this challenge, significant amount of work in the literature has proposed multi-access techniques that improve concurrent data structure parallelism. However, there is little work on analysing and modelling the execution behaviour of concurrent multi-access data structures especially in a shared memory setting.
