Hardware signatures have been recently proposed as an efficient mechanism to detect conflicts amongst concurrently running transactions in transactional memory systems (e.g., Bulk...
Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
A minimal, bounded hardware transactional memory implementation significantly improves synchronization performance when used in an operating system kernel. We add HTM to Linux 2.4...
