RLU


If an RLU-protected data structure is never updated, will read-only access be more efficient, less efficient, or identical to the RCU equivalent data structure? Why? (It shouldn’t matter, but assume you are not on the alpha architecture and hence that dependent load instructions are never reordered.)


Submitting

Local Stanford students should write up their response on a sheet of paper that includes their name and SUNetID. The sheet of paper with the response should be submitted immediately before lecture.

SCPD students should write up their response in a text file named response.RLU.txt and upload it via the submission and grades page. You'll need to sign in with your SUNetID to access the page. Responses will be accepted until one week after the corresponding paper's lecture.

In either case, the response should be short, likely only a pithy paragraph in length.
