Abstract. In software transactional memory (STM) systems, a contention manager resolves conflicts among transactions accessing the same memory locations. Whereas atomicity and ser...
Virtualization has been rapidly expanding its applications in numerous server and desktop environments to improve the utilization and manageability of physical systems. Such prolif...
Analysis of technology and application trends reveals a growing imbalance in the peak compute-to-memory-capacity ratio for future servers. At the same time, the fraction contribut...
