This essay presents remarkable similarities between transactional memory and garbage collection. The connections are fascinating in their own right, and they let us better underst...
We present the TIC (Transactions with Isolation and Cooperation) model for concurrent programming. TIC adds to standard transactional memory the ability for a transaction to obser...

—We show how to verify the correctness of transactional memory implementations with a model checker. We show how to specify transactional memory in terms of the admissible interc...

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 ...
Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) systems reflect choices from three key design dimensions: conflict detection, version management, and conflict resolution. Previously propos...

Hardware transactional memory has great potential to simplify the creation of correct and efficient multithreaded programs, allowing programmers to exploit more effectively the s...

Programming efficiency of heterogeneous concurrent systems is limited by the use of lock-based synchronization mechanisms. Transactional memories can greatly improve the programmi...
Chip-multiprocessors are quickly becoming popular in embedded systems. However, the practical success of CMPs strongly depends on addressing the difficulty of multithreaded appli...

Transactional memory is emerging as a parallel programming paradigm for multi-core processors. Despite the recent interest in transactional memory, there has been no study to char...
A high-concurrency transactional memory (TM) implementation needs to track concurrent accesses, buffer speculative updates, and manage conflicts. We present a system, FlexTM (FLE...
