Abstract
Source code includes a directive to indicate data structures of related data to a compiler. The compiler associates the related data to the same one of multiple processors in a multiprocessor environment. The compiler searches the source code for locks associated with the related data, and generates executable code that is modified with respect to locks written in the source code. The compiler may replace or remove locks written in the source code to protect access to the related data, resulting in an executable program that does not include the locks.
