Abstract

An efficient multi-core processor is provided, with processor instructions and an operating method associated with lock competition of a shared computing resource. A lock-application instruction is provided. Accordingly, the different processes executed by the different central processing unit (CPU) cores stand in a queue for right-of-access to the shared computing resources. The execution of the lock-application instruction is accompanied by the monitoring of a competition-level indicator. Based on the competition-level indicator, the lock of the shared computing resource is switched from a primitive lock mode that follows the first-in and first-out rule, to a Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) lock mode.
