Abstract
A method, system and computer readable media for optimistic access of data objects in a processing system. The method, system and computer readable media comprise providing a list of position objects. Each of the position objects can be associated with a data object. The method, system and computer readable medium include utilizing a thread to mutex a position object of the list of position objects and to associate the position object with a data object, and accessing the data object by the thread. The method, system and computer readable medium record a free level of a memory allocator as a read level of the position object and record a version number of the data object as the version number of the position object after the access has been determined to be safe.
