Software transactional memory for dynamic-sized data structures
We propose a new form of software transactional memory (STM) designed to support dynamic-sized data structures, and we describe a novel non-blocking implementation. The non-blocki...

Completeness and Nondeterminism in Model Checking Transactional Memories
Software transactional memory (STM) offers a disciplined concurrent programming model for exploiting the parallelism of modern processor architectures. This paper presents the firs...

Polymorphic Contention Management
Abstract. In software transactional memory (STM) systems, a contention manager resolves conflicts among transactions accessing the same memory locations. Whereas atomicity and ser...

Toward a theory of transactional contention managers
In recent software transactional memory proposals, a contention manager module is responsible for ensuring that the system as a whole makes progress. A number of contention manage...

Transactional Memory: How to perform load adaption in a simple and distributed manner
We analyze and present different strategies to adapt the load in transactional memory systems based on contention. Our experimental results show a substantial overall improvement ...
