METHODS FOR UPDATING REFERENCE COUNT AND SHARED OBJECTS IN A CONCURRENT SYSTEM
Last updated:
Abstract:
A method for to manage concurrent access to a shared resource in a distributed computing environment. A reference counter counts is incremented for every use of an object subtype in a session and decremented for every release of an object subtype in a session. A session counter is incremented upon the first instance of fetching an object type into a session cache and decremented upon having no instances of the object type in use in the session. When both the reference counter and the session counter are zero, the object type may be removed from the cache.
