Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing access to shared computing resources in a computing system which include representing resources as objects and managing access to those objects using the construct of a resource instance manager. A set of resource instance managers respond to all commands requesting access to a set of respective shared resources. Access to each shared resource is managed by a unique resource instance manager for that resource which maintains a consistent state for that shared resource. When commands are designed according to an appropriate model and processed by a set of resource instance managers disclosed herein, multiple processes may execute in parallel without causing deadlocks or introducing data corruption.
