Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for providing class-specific parameters for spinlocks in an application executing in a runtime environment. During execution of the application, a blocking portion of code is entered for an object in the application. The runtime environment determines that one or more spinlock parameters is enabled for the object of a class. The runtime environment applies the determined spinlock parameters to the object. A spinlock algorithm is performed using the applied spinlock parameters.
