— Programming to exploit the resources in a multicore system remains a major obstacle for both computer and software engineers. Transactional memory offers an attractive alternat...
Transactional memory (TM) provides a safer, more modular, and more scalable alternative to traditional lock-based synchronization. Implementing high performance TM systems has rec...
In this paper, we develop a queuing theory based analytical model to evaluate the performance of transactional memory. Based on the statistical characteristics observed on actual e...
Model checking software transactional memories (STMs) is difficult because of the unbounded number, length, and delay of concurrent transactions and the unbounded size of the memo...
Transactional memory is a promising, optimistic synchronization mechanism for chip-multiprocessor systems. The simplicity of atomic sections, instead of using explicit locks, is al...
