Transactional Mutex Locks
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...

Adaptive Locks: Combining Transactions and Locks for Efficient Concurrency
Transactional memory is being advanced as an alternative to traditional lock-based synchronization for concurrent programming. Transactional memory simplifies the programming mode...

Optimizing Mutual Exclusion Synchronization in Explicitly Parallel Programs
Abstract. We present two new compiler optimizations for explicitly parallel programs based on the CSSAME form: Lock-Independent Code Motion (LICM) and Mutex Body Localization (MBL)...

McRT-STM: a high performance software transactional memory system for a multi-core runtime
Applications need to become more concurrent to take advantage of the increased computational power provided by chip level multiprocessing. Programmers have traditionally managed t...

Spin-based reader-writer synchronization for multiprocessor real-time systems
Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair reader-writer locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. Phase-fair reader writer locks, a ne...
