The disparity between microprocessor clock frequencies and memory latency is a primary reason why many demanding applications run well below peak achievable performance. Software c...

Mutual exclusion locks limit concurrency but offer low latency. Software transactional memory (STM) typically has higher latency, but scales well. In this paper we propose transac...

Software fine-grain distributed shared memory (FGDSM) provides a simplified shared-memory programming interface with minimal or no hardware support. Originally software FGDSMs tar...

Drawing inspiration from several previous projects, we present an ownership-record-free software transactional memory (STM) system that combines extremely low overhead with unusua...
