Abstract
A computer-implemented method for reducing a computing overhead associated with objects that are local to a particular thread and can be accessed solely by that thread. Dynamically during run-time, an object is determined to be local to a particular thread and can be accessed solely by that thread, whereby a computing overhead associated with that object may be reduced. Likewise, cache locality may be optimized in respect of objects that are determined to be global so as to avoid putting them in the same cache line, whilst thread-local objects are preferably stored in a cache line associated with that thread.
