JudoSTM: A Dynamic Binary-Rewriting Approach to Software Transactional Memory
With the advent of chip-multiprocessors, we are faced with the challenge of parallelizing performance-critical software. Transactional memory (TM) has emerged as a promising progr...

Advanced contention management for dynamic software transactional memory
The obstruction-free Dynamic Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) system of Herlihy et al. allows only one transaction at a time to acquire an object for writing. Should a second ...

Cashmere-VLM: Remote Memory Paging for Software Distributed Shared Memory
Software distributed shared memory (DSM) systems have successfully provided the illusion of shared memory on distributed memory machines. However, most software DSM systems use th...

Dynamic Self-Invalidation: Reducing Coherence Overhead in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
This paper introduces dynamic self-invalidation (DSI), a new technique for reducing cache coherence overhead in shared-memory multiprocessors. DSI eliminates invalidation messages...

Low overhead concurrency control for partitioned main memory databases
Database partitioning is a technique for improving the performance of distributed OLTP databases, since “single partition” transactions that access data on one partition do no...
