Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for improving performance of multi-threaded computer programs that re-establishes the lock structure that enables access to a portion of the computer memory and thereby reduces contention for computer memory. The present invention analyzes the references to computer memory and re-structures the memory access lock structure and thereby improves the use of regions of computer memory that are found to be mutually exclusive.
