Abstract--Ensuring the correctness of complex implementations of software transactional memory (STM) is a daunting task. Attempts have been made to formally verify STMs, but these ...
One of the main challenges to harness the potential of Cloud computing is the design of programming models that simplify the development of large-scale parallel applications and t...
Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
Software Transactional Memories (STMs) are emerging as a highly attractive programming model, thanks to their ability to mask concurrency management issues to the overlying applic...

Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
