Committing conflicting transactions in an STM
Dependence-aware transactional memory (DATM) is a recently proposed model for increasing concurrency of memory transactions without complicating their interface. DATM manages depe...

Safe open-nested transactions through ownership
Researchers in transactional memory (TM) have proposed open nesting as a methodology for increasing the concurrency of transactional programs. The idea is to ignore "low-leve...

A comparison of programming models for multiprocessors with explicitly managed memory hierarchies
On multiprocessors with explicitly managed memory hierarchies (EMM), software has the responsibility of moving data in and out of fast local memories. This task can be complex and...

Solving dense linear systems on platforms with multiple hardware accelerators
In a previous paper we show how the FLAME methods and tools provide a solution to compute dense dense linear algebra operations on a multi-GPU platform with reasonable performance...

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 ...

Detecting and tolerating asymmetric races
Because data races represent a hard-to-manage class of errors in concurrent programs, numerous approaches to detect them have been proposed and evaluated. We specifically consider...

Comparability graph coloring for optimizing utilization of stream register files in stream processors
A stream processor executes an application that has been decomposed into a sequence of kernels that operate on streams of data elements. During the execution of a kernel, all stre...
