The classic ticket lock consists of ticket and grant fields. Arriving threads atomically fetch-and-increment ticket and then wait for grant to become equal to the value returned by the fetch-and-increment primitive, at which point the thread holds the lock. The corresponding unlock operation simply increments grant. This simple design has short code paths and fast handover (transfer of ownership) under light contention, but may suffer degraded scalability under high contention when multiple threads busy wait on the grant field -- so-called global spinning. We propose a variation on ticket locks where long-term waiting threads wait on locations in a waiting array instead of busy waiting on the grant field. The single waiting array is shared among all locks. Short-term waiting is accomplished in the usual manner on the grant field. The resulting algorithm, TWA, improves on ticket locks by limiting the number of threads spinning on the grant field at any given time, reducing the number of remote caches requiring invalidation from the store that releases the lock. In turn, this accelerates handover, and since the lock is held throughout the handover operation, scalability improves. Under light or no contention, TWA yields performance comparable to the classic ticket lock, avoiding the complexity and extra accesses incurred by MCS locks in the handover path, but providing performance above or beyond that of MCS at high contention.
