Semantics of transactional memory and automatic mutual exclusion
Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an attractive basis for the development of language features for concurrent programming. However, the semantics of these features can be del...

Automatic Mutual Exclusion
We propose a new concurrent programming model, Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME). In contrast to lock-based programming, and to other programming models built over software transac...

Transactional Memory: Architectural Support for Lock-Free Data Structures
A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be pr...

Transactional memory for smalltalk
Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...

Revisit of View-Oriented Parallel Programming
Traditional parallel programming styles have many problems which hinder the development of parallel applications. The message passing style can be too complex for many programmers...
