The depth-first work rule keeps each thread opearting efficiently(due to the cache);

  Note: It addresses the convoy problem for the mutual lock, general solution will emphasis the faireness (FIFO) in their impelemantion, but that means whenver a thread leaves the critical section, it will enter the kernel to wake up other threads. If at this time a thread tries to get the lock, it will fail and enter the sleep queue even it could get the lock without any kernel invovlment. To get the performance brought by the faireness, this paper design a solution in which when a thread leave the critical section it can transform the lock to the thread who is acquriing the lock, rather than waking up a thread in the sleeping queue. It is a tradeoff between the performance and faireness.

  Note: the only one talking about the event-driven style on multiple processors, by using color to identify the coordinating callbacksscheduler will not assgin the callbacks with same colors on the different cpus at same time. It is like the interleaving construct in CCR,also it gave me some thoughts on the BPEL engin. BPEL engin doesn't have the dependet requestes as the a cached web server has, but when a workflow instance is running, how to make sure the mutual exclusivly acess the share variables in different concurrent actitivies is a challenge,we may use color scheme(lock doesn't help here).
