Abstract—Transactional memory promises to generalize transactional programming to mainstream languages and data structures. The purported benefit of transactions is that they ar...
Current microprocessors aggressively exploit instructionlevel parallelism (ILP) through techniques such as multiple issue, dynamic scheduling, and non-blocking reads. Recent work ...

On a distributed memory machine, hand-coded message passing leads to the most efficient execution, but it is difficult to use. Parallelizing compilers can approach the performance...
This paper quantifies the effect of architectural design decisions on the performance of TxLinux. TxLinux is a Linux kernel modified to use transactions in place of locking primit...
