Disclosed are a method and system for parallel execution of recovery in a non-homogeneous multi-processor environment. The method defines criteria how to decide which recovery actions are to be performed, and on which processor. If multiple recovery actions are pending, the goal is to execute them in parallel on multiple processors. This is much more efficient than the traditional approach of one processor doing all the required recovery. In addition, in large, non-homogeneous systems such a single processor capable of doing the complete recovery might not be existing at all due to technical limitations. The method of this invention also defines rules and mechanisms how multiple processors executing recovery in parallel can access shared resources while avoiding deadlock situations. This includes accessing resources that are currently owned by another processor.
