Method and apparatus for accessing thread-privatized global storage objects

A system comprising:

• a translation unit to receive a program unit having a global storage object, wherein the global storage object is to be accessed by a thread during execution in a multi-processing shared memory environment, the translation unit to translate the program unit into a translated program unit, wherein the translated program unit is to determine whether a cache object has been allocated for the global storage object, to generate at least one cache object for the global storage object if a cache object has not been allocated and to generate a thread private copy of the global storage object for the thread during execution, the thread private copy of the global storage object generated by a routine in a run time library, wherein the thread private copy of the global storage object is subsequently retrieved by the thread directly from the at least one cache object;
• and
• a compiler unit coupled to the translation unit, the compiler unit to receive the translated program unit and to generate object code based on the translated program unit.
