1. A computer-implemented method for implementing an atomic monitor wait operation, comprising:

  • creating a semaphore specific to a first thread desiring to exit a monitor associated with a target object having an object lock;

    placing the semaphore in a wait queue associated with the target object; and

    releasing the object lock by the first thread thereby allowing a second thread to execute a synchronous operation on the target object.
