A concurrent data structure allows synchronization to be elided for read accesses. Processing resources that remove one or more elements of the concurrent data structure are allowed to delete the elements only after all other processing resources have reached a safe point. Each processing resource maintains an indicator that indicates whether the processing resource has reached as safe point (i.e., will not access the concurrent data structure). When the indicators indicate that all processing resources have reached a safe point, elements of the data structure may be deleted.
