Talk:Raymond's algorithm

I think this should definitely mention that the root of the tree varies - it is always located at the token. Here is a decent summary of the algorithm: http://courseweb.sp.cs.cmu.edu/~cs498/spring2005/applications/ln/lecture14.html 141.218.144.34 (talk) 16:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Notability
Raymond's Mutual Exclusion algorithm is certainly notable. Its an important foundational algorithm for distributed systems. The algorithm, along with Suzuki-Kasami's Broadcast Algorithm, is discussed in many Computer Science textbooks on distributed systems. Xeyedjack (talk) 22:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
