Abstract
A computer system implementing transient blocking synchronization allows a memory location leased by a first process to be read-accessible to another process. In other words, more than one thread may have read-only type leases on a given memory location at a given time. Such “shared” leases expire when respective lease periods of the shared leases elapse.
