TokenTM: Efficient Execution of Large Transactions with Hardware Transactional Memory
Current hardware transactional memory systems seek to simplify parallel programming, but assume that large transactions are rare, so it is acceptable to penalize their performance...

Improving Performance by Reducing Aborts in Hardware Transactional Memory
The optimistic nature of Transactional Memory (TM) systems can lead to the concurrent execution of transactions that are later found to conflict. Conflicts degrade scalability, a...

TxLinux: using and managing hardware transactional memory in an operating system
TxLinux is a variant of Linux that is the first operating system to use hardware transactional memory (HTM) as a synchronization primitive, and the first to manage HTM in the sc...

On the power of hardware transactional memory to simplify memory management
Dynamic memory management is a significant source of complexity in the design and implementation of practical concurrent data structures. We study how hardware transactional memo...
