We analyze and present different strategies to adapt the load in transactional memory systems based on contention. Our experimental results show a substantial overall improvement ...

When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...
Abstract. Transactional memory systems trade ease of programming with runtime performance losses in handling transactions. This paper focuses on starvation effects that show up in ...
Contention management is an important design component to a transactional memory system. Without effective contention management to ensure forward progress, a transactional memory...

We present a memory-aware load balancing (MALB) technique to dispatch transactions to replicas in a replicated database. Our MALB algorithm exploits knowledge of the working sets ...
