The problem of concurrent access to an index structure is that of allowing a maximum number of processes to operate without impairing the correctness of their operations. Recently, Bayer et al. (1977) presented some simple locking protocols to the problem of concurrent access to indexes which are implemented B*-trees. In this paper, we give a new locking protocol that achieves higher concurrency than that of Bayer et al., by minimizing the area on which the exclusive locks are placed. We also show that this solution is deadlock free.

AB - The problem of concurrent access to an index structure is that of allowing a maximum number of processes to operate without impairing the correctness of their operations. Recently, Bayer et al. (1977) presented some simple locking protocols to the problem of concurrent access to indexes which are implemented B*-trees. In this paper, we give a new locking protocol that achieves higher concurrency than that of Bayer et al., by minimizing the area on which the exclusive locks are placed. We also show that this solution is deadlock free.
