| Zusammenfassung: | A first instruction for processing by a processor core is received. Whether the instruction is a larx is determined. Responsive to determining the instruction is a larx, whether a cacheline associated with the larx is locked is determined. Responsive to determining the cacheline associated with the larx is not locked, the cacheline associated with the larx is locked and a counter associated with a first thread of the processor core is started. The first thread is processing the first instruction. |
