A method for rolling back speculative threads in symmetric-multiprocessing (SMP) environments is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an aborted thread at runtime and determining whether the aborted thread is an oldest aborted thread. In the event the aborted thread is the oldest aborted thread, the method sets a high-priority request for allocation to an absolute thread number associated with the oldest aborted thread. The method further detects that the high-priority request is set and, in response, clears the high-priority request and sets an allocation token to the absolute thread number associated with the oldest aborted thread, thereby allowing the oldest aborted thread to retry a work unit associated with the absolute thread number. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed. |
