ABSTRACT:
Intelligent prediction of critical sections is implemented using a method comprising updating a critical section estimator based on historical analysis of atomic/store instruction pairs during runtime and performing lock elision when the critical section estimator indicates that the atomic/store instruction pairs define a critical section.
