A computer implemented method executing a plurality of tasks, each task comprising threads and each task being assigned a priority from 1 to a whole number greater than 1, each thread of a task assigned the same priority as the task and each thread being executed by a processor. The method also provides locking and unlocking arranged to lock and unlock data stored by a storage device responsive to such a request from a thread. A method of operating the system comprises maintaining a queue of threads that require access to locked data, maintaining an array comprising, for each priority, duration and/or throughput information for threads of the priority, setting a wait flag for a priority in the array according to a predefined algorithm calculated from the duration and/or throughput information in the array.
