In this paper, we identify transaction-local memory as a major source of overhead from compiler instrumentation in software transactional memory (STM). Transaction-local memory is...

Abstract. In transactional memory, aborted transactions reduce performance, and waste computing resources. Ideally, concurrent execution of transactions should be optimally ordered...
—Most research into high-performance software transactional memory (STM) assumes that transactions will run on a processor with a relatively strict memory model, such as Total St...

Hardware transactional memory is a promising synchronization technology for chip-multiprocessors. It simplifies programming of concurrent applications and allows for higher concu...
— 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...
