Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for partitioning contended synchronization objects. A particular method determines a contention-free value of a performance metric associated with a synchronization object of a data structure. A contended value of the performance metric is measured, and the synchronization object is partitioned when the contended value of the performance metric exceeds a multiple of the contention-free value of the performance metric.
