Abstract
A method for minimizing lock contention among threads in a multithreaded system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) a processor causing a control thread, if information on a task is acquired by the control thread, to acquire a lock to thereby put the information on a task into a specific task queue which satisfies a certain condition among multiple task queues; and (b) the processor causing a specified worker thread corresponding to the specific task queue among multiple worker threads, if the lock held by the control thread is released, to acquire a lock to thereby get a task stored in the specific task queue.
