Concurrency research

Due to Moore’s law still holding the ever increasing number of transistors within integrated circuits, we have seen changes in the way systems are deployed. System engineers and programmers are able to run a greater number of modules concurrently.

We have also seen an increase in companies offering cloud storage services not just to the relatively small market of businesses but also to the general consumer. This fact has brought companies like Dropbox into fruition and has allowed them to be able to offer their service to over 500 million customers.

However one of the fundamental problems found when allowing users and systems to execute processes simultaneously is something we call “Interference”. This paper is aimed at identifying this problem and discussing the possible solutions available to system engineers.
