Transactional memory with strong atomicity using off-the-shelf memory protection hardware
This paper introduces a new way to provide strong atomicity in an implementation of transactional memory. Strong atomicity lets us offer clear semantics to programs, even if they ...

Using Hardware Memory Protection to Build a High-Performance, Strongly-Atomic Hybrid Transactional Memory
We demonstrate how fine-grained memory protection can be used in support of transactional memory systems: first showing how a software transactional memory system (STM) can be m...

A Scalable Lock-Free Universal Construction with Best Effort Transactional Hardware
The imminent arrival of best-effort transactional hardware has spurred new interest in the construction of nonblocking data structures, such as those that require atomic updates to...

Parallelizing sequential applications on commodity hardware using a low-cost software transactional memory
Multicore designs have emerged as the mainstream design paradigm for the microprocessor industry. Unfortunately, providing multiple cores does not directly translate into performa...

What do high-level memory models mean for transactions?
Many people have proposed adding transactions, or atomic blocks, to type-safe high-level programming languages. However, researchers have not considered the semantics of transacti...
