Modeling the Run-time Behavior of Transactional Memory
In this paper, we develop a queuing theory based analytical model to evaluate the performance of transactional memory. Based on the statistical characteristics observed on actual e...

Toward a theory of transactional contention managers
In recent software transactional memory proposals, a contention manager module is responsible for ensuring that the system as a whole makes progress. A number of contention manage...
