Ordering-Based Semantics for Software Transactional Memory
It has been widely suggested that memory transactions should behave as if they acquired and released a single global lock. Unfortunately, this behavior can be expensive to achieve...

Software Transactional Memory on Relaxed Memory Models
Abstract. Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These assumptio...
