Abstract:
A computational device maintains a spinlock for exclusive access of a resource by a process of a plurality of processes. In response to determining by the process that a turn for securing the spinlock has not arrived for the process, a sleep duration is determined for the process, prior to making a next attempt to secure the spinlock.
