Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for assigning lock resources to objects by obtaining a first alternative lock for the object, and determining first correlations between the object and each of one or more other objects when the first alternative lock has been assigned to the one or more other objects, wherein in response to determining that each of the first correlations is lower than a predetermined threshold, assign the first alternative lock to the object, and may maximize the possibility of parallel execution and reduce the time waiting for lock resources, thereby avoiding lock contention.
