The semantics of progress in lock-based transactional memory
Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. Whereas the number of TM implementations is growing, however, little research has been conducted to p...

Preventing versus curing: avoiding conflicts in transactional memories
Transactional memories are typically speculative and rely on contention managers to cure conflicts. This paper explores a complementary approach that prevents conflicts by schedul...

Scalable Techniques for Transparent Privatization in Software Transactional Memory
—We address the recently recognized privatization problem in software transactional memory (STM) runtimes, and introduce the notion of partially visible reads (PVRs) to heuristic...
