Highlighted notes of article while studying Concurrent Data Structures, CSE:
Real-world Concurrency.
Bryan Cantrill and Jeff Bonwick, Sun Microsystems.
ACM Queue, September 2008 https://doi.org/10.1145/1454456.1454462

BRYAN CANTRILL is a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, where he has worked on concurrent systems since coming to Sun to work with Jeff Bonwick on Solaris performance in 1996. Along with colleagues Mike Shapiro and Adam Leventhal, Cantrill developed DTrace, a facility for dynamic instrumentation of production systems that was directly inspired by his frustration in understanding the behavior of concurrent systems.

JEFF BONWICK is a Fellow at Sun Microsystems, where he has worked on concurrent systems since 1990. He is best known for inventing and leading the development of Sun’s ZFS (Zettabyte File System), but prior to this he was known for having written (or rather, rewritten) many of the most parallel subsystems in the Solaris kernel, including the syn- chronization primitives, the kernel memory allocator, and the thread-blocking mechanism.
