ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for synchronizing objects is provided. A cache of synchronization constructs is provided and used to synchronize a thread with an object. A free list contains synchronization constructs not allocated to synchronize an object. A synchronization construct is allocated when at least one thread requests synchronization with an object. In response to detecting a collection enabling condition, synchronization constructs allocated to objects not synchronized with any thread are deallocated. A local hash table is assigned to each thread. The local hash table contains synchronization constructs used to synchronize objects to the thread to which the local hash table is assigned.
