Dear Luis,
I would be very interested. Replacing the IPC shared memory

Dear Tom,
Thank you for the explanation. I did not understand what was
going on in lwlock.c.
My systems are all SGI Origins having between 8 and 32
processors, and I've been running PostgreSQL on them for about 5
years. These machines do provide a number of good mechanisms for hig

Are you co
On SGI multiprocessor machines, I suspect that a spinlock
implementation of LWLockAcquire would give better performance than
using IPC semaphores. Is there any specific reason that a spinlock
could not be used in this context?
