Applying transactional memory to concurrency bugs
Multithreaded programs often suffer from synchronization bugs such as atomicity violations and deadlocks. These bugs arise from complicated locking strategies and ad hoc synchroni...

An efficient transactional memory algorithm for computing minimum spanning forest of sparse graphs
Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
