  • Method and system for managing lock contention in a computer system
    Publication number: 20020107854
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently managing lock contention for a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer system. The present invention uses both spinning and blocking (or undispatching) to manage threads when they are waiting to acquire a lock. In addition, the present invention intelligently determines when the program thread should spin and when the program thread should become undispatched. If it is determined that the program thread should become undispatched, the present invention provides efficient undispatching of program threads that improves throughput by reducing wait time to acquire the lock.
