Brief announcement: selfishness in transactional memory
In order to be efficient with selfish programmers, a multicore transactional memory (TM) system must be designed such that it is compatible with good programming incentives (GPI),...

On avoiding spare aborts in transactional memory
This paper takes a step toward developing a theory for understanding aborts in transactional memory systems (TMs). Existing TMs may abort many transactions that could, in fact, co...

The weakest failure detector for wait-free dining under eventual weak exclusion
Dining philosophers is a classic scheduling problem for local mutual exclusion on arbitrary conflict graphs. We establish necessary conditions to solve wait-free dining under even...

On randomized representations of graphs using short labels
Informative labeling schemes consist in labeling the nodes of graphs so that queries regarding any two nodes (e.g., are the two nodes adjacent?) can be answered by inspecting mere...

Inherent limitations on disjoint-access parallel implementations of transactional memory
Transactional memory (TM) is a promising approach for designing concurrent data structures, and it is essential to develop better understanding of the formal properties that can b...

How much parallelism is there in irregular applications?
Irregular programs are programs organized around pointer-based data structures such as trees and graphs. Recent investigations by the Galois project have shown that many irregular...

Formal verification of practical MPI programs
This paper considers the problem of formal verification of MPI programs operating under a fixed test harness for safety properties without building verification models. In our app...
