Abstract
An algorithm is given for the multi-writer version of the Concurrent Reading While Writing (CRWW) problem. The algorithm solves the problem of allowing simultaneous access to arbitrarily sized shared data without requiring waiting, and hence avoids mutual exclusion. This. demonstrates that a quite complicated concurrent control problem can be solved-without eliminating the efficiency of parallelism. One very important aspect of the algorithm are the tools developed to prove its correctness. Without these tools, proving the correctness of a solution to a problem of this complexity would be very difficult.
