The power consumed by the memory hierarchy of a microprocessor can contribute to as much as 50% of the total microprocessor system power, and is thus a good candidate for optimiza...
We propose a new design for an energy-efficient hardware transactional memory (HTM) system for power-aware embedded devices. Prior hardware transactional memory designs proposed a ...

Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair readerwriter locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. A new phase-fair reader-writer lock i...
