Abstract
Local storage may be allocated for each processing resource in a process of a computer system. Each processing resource may be virtualized and may have a one-to-one or a many-to-one correspondence with with physical processors. The contents of each local storage persist across various execution contexts that are executed by a corresponding processing resource. Each local storage may be accessed without synchronization (e.g., locks) by each execution context that is executed on a corresponding processing resource. The local storages provide the ability to segment data and store and access the data without synchronization. The local storages may be used to implement lock-free techniques such as a generalized reduction where a set of values is combined through an associative operator.
