Method and system of protecting shared resources across multiple threads

A data processing system readable medium, comprising code containing instructions translatable for:

• associating a resource access manager with the shared resource, wherein the resource access manager includes a thread synchronization primitive;
• receiving a request from a thread for the shared resource at the resource access manager;
• and
• allowing the thread to access the shared resource according to the thread synchronization primitive.

A system for the protection of a shared resource, comprising:

• a software component configured to:
• receive a request from a thread for the shared resource;
• and
• allow the thread to access the shared resource according to a thread synchronization primitive.

A system for managing resource access, comprising:

• a plurality of shared resources;
• a plurality of resource access managers, wherein each resource access manager comprises:
• an associated shared resource;
• and
• a thread synchronization primitive;
• wherein access to the shared resource is controlled by the thread synchronization primitive of the associated resource access manager;
• and
• a multiple resource manager, the multiple resource access manager comprising a table linking each shared resource with the associated resource access manager.

A method of managing access to shared resources, comprising:

• receiving at a multiple resource manager request from a thread for one of a plurality of shared resources;
• identifying a particular resource access manager associated with the called shared resource;
• forwarding the request from the multiple resource manager to the identified resource access manager;
• receiving the request at the identified resource access manager;
• and
• allowing the thread access to the called shared resource according to a thread synchronization primitive contained within the identified resource access manager.
