Computer System with Concurrency For Multithreaded Applications

摘要

Threads running in a computer system are managed. Responsive to a thread for an application attempting to acquire a lock to a shared computing resource to perform a task for the application, a determination is made by the computer system as to whether the lock for the shared computing resource was acquired by the thread for the application. An unrelated task for the application assigned by the computer system to the thread in an absence of a determination that the lock was acquired.
