Dynamically Checking Ownership Policies in Concurrent C/C++ Programs
Concurrent programming errors arise when threads share data incorrectly. Programmers often avoid these errors by using synchronization to enforce a simple ownership policy: data i...

Reducing Memory Ordering Overheads in Software Transactional Memory
—Most research into high-performance software transactional memory (STM) assumes that transactions will run on a processor with a relatively strict memory model, such as Total St...

Implementing and evaluating nested parallel transactions in software transactional memory
Transactional Memory (TM) is a promising technique that simplifies parallel programming for shared-memory applications. To date, most TM systems have been designed to efficientl...

Hardware Support for Relaxed Concurrency Control in Transactional Memory
Today's transactional memory systems implement the two-phase-locking (2PL) algorithm which aborts transactions every time a conflict happens. 2PL is a simple algorithm that pr...

Parameterized Verification of Transactional Memories
We describe an automatic verification method to check whether transactional memories ensure strict serializability--a key property assumed of the transactional interface. Our main...
