ABSTRACT:
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a processor that includes multiple multi-threaded programmable units integrated on a single die. The die also includes circuitry communicatively coupled to the programmable units that reorders and grants lock requests received from the threads based on an order in which the threads requested insertion into a sequence of lock grants.
