Abstract: Language-supported synchronization is a source of serious performance problems in many Java programs. Even singlethreaded applications may spend up to half their time performing useless synchronization due to the thread-safe nature of the Java libraries. We solve this performance problem with a new algorithm that allows lock and unlock operations to be performed with only a few machine instructions in the most common cases. Our locks only require a partial word per object, and were implemented... (Update)
