ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus manage shared resources in a multiprocessing computer system. A coordinator process identifies resources to be operated upon by a plurality of worker processes. The coordinator process acquires locks to lock the resources on behalf of the plurality of worker processes. The plurality of worker processes then operate on the resources locked by the coordinator process.
