As you're reading the front of the queue the whole front of the queue will be in your cache says Justin Kopinsky an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering
fellow graduate student Jerry Li; their advisor professor of computer science and engineering Nir Shavit; and Microsoft Research's Dan Alistarh a former student of Shavit's relaxed the requirement that each core has to access the first item in the queue.
If the items at the front of the queue can be processed in parallel --which must be the case for multicore computing to work anyway--they can simply be assigned to cores at random.
But a core has to know where to find the data item it's been assigned

#Researchers use oxides to flip graphene conductivity A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania;
University of California Berkeley; and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has made inroads in solving one such hurdle.
By demonstrating a new way to change the amount of electrons that reside in a given region within a piece of graphene they have a proof-of-principle in making the fundamental building blocks of semiconductor devices using the 2-D material.
Moreover their method enables this value to be tuned through the application of an electric field meaning graphene circuit elements made in this way could one day be rewired dynamically without physically altering the device.
