Thread synchronization with lock inflation methods and apparatus for managed run-time environments

摘要

Thread synchronization with lock inflation methods and apparatus for managed run-time environments are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein comprises determining a locking operation to perform on a lock corresponding to the object, performing an optimistically balanced synchronization of the lock if the locking operation is not unbalanced, and modifying a lock shape of the lock if the locking operation is unbalanced.
