Multi-granularity Locking in Hierarchies with Synergistic Hierarchical and Fine-Grained Locks. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
We propose a new locking mechanism for hierarchies wherein the locking requests can be a combination of coarse and fine. Existing protocols such as multiple-granularity locking (MGL) are efficient when all the requests are of the same granularity. MGL is either too coarse or too fine-grained when multiple threads request for various parts of the hierarchy with differing granularity requirements. Simultaneous handling of hierarchical and fine-grained requests poses new challenges in checking for racy requests. We propose a novel indexing technique for hierarchies which uniquely identifies every node as an interval value and effectively captures hierarchical dependencies between nodes even when the hierarchy is a tree, DAG or a cycle. Our experiments with real-world XML hierarchies and synthetic benchmarks show that the proposed locking technique provides a higher degree of concurrency with minimal locking cost resulting in overall performance improvement. |
