Abstract

See full text

Concurrent access to data is managed through concurrency control techniques. Various types of techniques are employed to manage the access, including locking-based techniques and non-locking-based techniques. A dynamic switch from one type of concurrency control technique (e.g., a locking-based technique) to a different type of concurrency control technique (e.g., a non-locking-based technique) is enabled. This switching is based on access patterns and/or application requirements for each file. The switching allows enhanced performance for both coarse-grain sharing and fine-grain sharing of data.
