Synthetic Lock Benchmark #40

Closed Baltoli closed 7 years ago

Baltoli commented 7 years ago

This benchmark should be a synthetic one that has a lot of contention on locks. Needs to run for long enough that an improvement is obvious, and should also think about how best to profile the benchmark.

Robert mentioned that it might be worthwhile to have this benchmark perform some actual meaningful computation rather than just spinning - doing this means that end-to-end time can be a better measure. The computation needs to be selected to take enough time and generate enough contention.
