Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing lock contention in a multithreaded processing system. In one embodiment, a method includes tracking an amount of time that a lock on a first thread prevents a second thread from execution. The method also includes, if the amount of time is greater than a first threshold, storing the amount of time and an address associated with the lock. The method includes dispatching a third thread that utilizes the address associated with the lock. The method also includes increasing the hardware priority of the third thread during a lock operation.
