Implementing and evaluating nested parallel transactions in software transactional memory
Transactional Memory (TM) is a promising technique that simplifies parallel programming for shared-memory applications. To date, most TM systems have been designed to efficientl...

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...

Reducing System Overheads in Home-based Software DSMs
Software DSM systems su er from the high communication and coherence-induced overheads that limit performance. This paper introduces our e orts in reducing system overheads of a h...

An effective hybrid transactional memory system with strong isolation guarantees
We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

Reliability mechanisms for file systems using non-volatile memory as a metadata store
Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...
