Transactional memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by guaranteeing that transactions appear to execute atomically and in isolation. Implementing these properties includes p...

In the search for high performance, most transactional memory (TM) systems execute atomic blocks concurrently and must thus be prepared for data conflicts. The TM system must then...
Transactional Memory aims to provide a programming model that makes parallel programming easier. Hardware implementations of transactional memory (HTM) suffer from fewer overhead...

Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...
