摘要： A method and apparatus of assigning and releasing locks, in a network computing environment having a plurality of central processing units coupled to a high performance locking facility. The method comprises of the steps of first receiving and processing a lock operation synchronous to any requesting central processor unit requesting a lock and then recording lock names and lock states in entry records of a lock table based on the requests. When a request is being processed, providing high-speed searching to search any particular lock entry in the table and altering and modifying the table accordingly. Finally an appropriate response and the status of the lock state will be generated and sent to other requesters requesting the lock.
