Abstract
Locks are placed in a convert queue in a way that compensates for queue bias. Rather than always placing a remote lock in a queue at the tail, a remote lock can be placed further up in the queue, and possibly be interleaved with local locks. As a result, remote processes are granted locks more frequently and swiftly. Locks are placed in a convert queue according based on queue placement factors, which are factors accounted for when placing a lock in a queue.
