A method for managing a mutex in a data processing system is presented. For each mutex, a count is maintained of the number of threads that are spinning while waiting to acquire a mutex. If a thread attempts to acquire a locked mutex, then the thread enters a spin state or a sleep state based on restrictive conditions and the number of threads that are spinning during the attempted acquisition. In addition, the relative length of time that is required by a thread to spin on a mutex after already sleeping on the mutex may be used to regulate the number of threads that are allowed to spin on the mutex.

Under the present invention, a locking primitive associated with a shared data object is automatically transformed to allow multiple read-only locks if certain conditions are met. To this extent, when a read-only lock on a shared data object is desired, a thread identifier of an object header lock word (hereinafter “lock word”) associated with the shared data object is examined to determine if a read-write lock on the shared data object already exists. If not, then the thread identifier is set to a predetermined value indicative of read-only locks, and a thread count in the lock word is incremented. If another thread attempts a read-only lock, the thread identifier will be examined for the predetermined value. If it is present, the thread count will be incremented again, and a second read-only lock will be simultaneously established.

The invention discloses a multi-tasking queue scheduling method based on a thread pool. First, a corresponding task queue is created according to task types, and the task queue is not directly associated with work threads in a work thread pool. Then, a task dispatcher is created for receiving a task and dispatching the task to the corresponding task queue according to the type of the task.
