Abstract
Lock-free queues of a shared memory environment are used to facilitate communication within that environment. The lock-free queues can be used for interprocess communication, as well as intraprocess communication. The lock-free queues are structured to minimize the use of atomic operations when performing operations on the queues, and to minimize the number of enqueue/dequeue operations to be performed on the queues.
