Abstract
A shared resource update apparatus includes: a processor unit including at least one processor having a plurality of processor cores that respectively execute a plurality of threads; and a storage unit storing a program that executes conflict avoidance control by being executed by the processor unit. A shared resource for the plurality of threads comprises a plurality of shared resource parts which are logically or physically partitioned. Each first thread among the plurality of threads is an update thread which updates an allocated shared resource part in response to an update request. Each second thread among the plurality of threads is a reference thread which issues an update request and references a shared resource part. Conflict avoidance control includes allocation of different shared resource parts to different update threads at a ratio of 1:n or 1:1, where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2.
