Abstract:
A system for parallel processing tasks by allocating the use of exclusive locks to process critical sections of a task. The system includes storing update information that is updated in response to acquisition and release of an exclusive lock. When processing a task which includes a critical section containing code affecting execution of the other task, an exclusive execution unit acquires an exclusive lock prior to processing the critical section. When the section has been processed successfully, the lock is released and update information updated. Meanwhile a second task, whose critical section does not contain code affecting execution of the other task may run in parallel, without acquiring an exclusive lock, via a nonexclusive execution unit. The nonexclusive execution unit determines that the second critical section has successfully completed if the update information has not changed during processing of the second critical section.

Claim (Index 10):
The system according to  claim 9 , wherein the nonexclusive execution unit determines whether the update information has changed since acquisition of a reference of a pointer in the processing in the critical section included in the second task, and when the update information has not changed, the acquired reference of the pointer is accessed.
