Patent number: 9542235Abstract: In one embodiment, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed cause a processor to obtain a first mutual exclusion object. The first mutual exclusion object can be a write mutual exclusion object associated with a shared resource. The code can further represent instructions that when executed cause the processor to obtain a second mutual exclusion object associated with an object manager module and define a read event object with a name conforming to a predetermined format. The code can further represent instructions that when executed cause the processor to release the second mutual exclusion object, release the first mutual exclusion object, read at least a portion of the shared resource, obtain the second mutual exclusion object, destroy the read event object and release the second mutual exclusion object.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: AppSense, LimitedInventors: Richard Pointon, Richard James Somerfield
