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...
— 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...
Database applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP) and decision support systems (DSS) constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multipro...
On-line transaction processing exhibits poor memory behavior in high-end multiprocessor servers because of complex sharing patterns and substantial interaction between the databas...
Transactional Memory (TM) is being studied widely as a new technique for synchronizing concurrent accesses to shared memory data structures for use in multi-core systems. Much of ...
