Hello, I'm confused about Figure 4.2 and the formula (4.1). Anyone can clarify the confusion? Thanks. On page 56, the book says: 1. LN is the number of lock acquisitions by N threads. Question: Does this mean LN = sum of all the readcounts[i] ? 2. L1 is the number of lock acquisitions by a single thread Question: which thread is L1 corresponding to? Is "a single thread" selected randomly? Thanks, Hao Lee
