When vectorizing for SIMD architectures that are commonly employed by today’s multimedia extensions, one of the new challenges that arise is the handling of memory alignment. Pr...
Transactional memory (TM) has shown potential to simplify the task of writing concurrent programs. Inspired by classical work on databases, formal definitions of the semantics of...
