A comprehensive strategy for contention management in software transactional memory
In Software Transactional Memory (STM), contention management refers to the mechanisms used to ensure forward progress-to avoid livelock and starvation, and to promote throughput ...

Completeness and Nondeterminism in Model Checking Transactional Memories
Software transactional memory (STM) offers a disciplined concurrent programming model for exploiting the parallelism of modern processor architectures. This paper presents the firs...

Polymorphic Contention Management
Abstract. In software transactional memory (STM) systems, a contention manager resolves conflicts among transactions accessing the same memory locations. Whereas atomicity and ser...

Brief announcement: on enhancing concurrency in distributed transactional memory
Distributed transactional memory (TM) models based on globally-consistent contention management policies may abort many transactions that could potentially commit without violatin...

Software transactional memory for dynamic-sized data structures
We propose a new form of software transactional memory (STM) designed to support dynamic-sized data structures, and we describe a novel non-blocking implementation. The non-blocki...
