Allowing loads to issue out-of-order with respect to earlier unresolved store addresses is very important for extracting parallelism in large-window superscalar processors. Blindl...
Hardware transactional memory should support unbounded transactions: transactions of arbitrary size and duration. We describe a hardware implementation of unbounded transactional ...
