Implementation and Use of Transactional Memory with Dynamic Separation
Abstract. We introduce the design and implementation of dynamic separation (DS) as a programming discipline for using transactional memory. Our approach is based on the programmer ...

A Model of Dynamic Separation for Transactional Memory
Abstract. Dynamic separation is a new programming discipline for systems with transactional memory. We study it formally in the setting of a small calculus with transactions. We pr...

Perspectives on Transactional Memory
Abstract. We examine the role of transactional memory from two perspectives: that of a programming language with atomic actions and that of implementations of the language. We argu...

Transactional memory with strong atomicity using off-the-shelf memory protection hardware
This paper introduces a new way to provide strong atomicity in an implementation of transactional memory. Strong atomicity lets us offer clear semantics to programs, even if they ...

On the power of hardware transactional memory to simplify memory management
Dynamic memory management is a significant source of complexity in the design and implementation of practical concurrent data structures. We study how hardware transactional memo...
