Software transactional memory (STM) guarantees that a transaction, consisting of a sequence of operations on the memory, appears to be executed atomically. In practice, it is impor...
Concurrent collection classes are widely used in multi-threaded programming, but they provide atomicity only for a fixed set of operations. Software transactional memory (STM) pr...
