Abstract:

A system and method of registering one or more objects in a container of a multi-threaded computing system. A method includes prefixing, to each object of the one or more objects, an object header having a version counter with an initial version count of zero. The method further includes for each object to be allocated to a thread of the multi-threaded computing system, allocating an object frame associated with each allocated object to the thread while maintaining the object header. The method further includes constructing each allocated object in the object frame after the object header, and initializing the object header of each allocated object by executing a store/store memory barrier and incrementing the version counter by a count of one to mark the associated allocated object as valid.
