ABSTRACT:
Asynchronous messages are used to prefetch and/or relinquish tokens used in providing locking of shared resources. A message is sent to prefetch one or more tokens, and prior to receiving a reply for the message, another message (e.g., an acquire) is sent for at least one of those tokens. Similarly, a message is sent indicating a voluntary relinquish of one or more tokens and without having acknowledgment that the relinquish request was processed, a further message (e.g., an acquire) is sent for at least one of the tokens. Multiple tokens may be acquired and/or relinquished in a single message to the token server. This reduces message delays and overall message traffic.
