MetaTM/TxLinux: Transactional Memory for an Operating System
This paper quantifies the effect of architectural design decisions on the performance of TxLinux. TxLinux is a Linux kernel modified to use transactions in place of locking primit...

Lightweight, robust adaptivity for software transactional memory
When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...

Extensible transactional memory testbed
Transactional Memory (TM) is a promising abstraction as it hides all synchronization complexities from the programmers of concurrent applications. More particularly the TM paradig...

Preventing versus curing: avoiding conflicts in transactional memories
Transactional memories are typically speculative and rely on contention managers to cure conflicts. This paper explores a complementary approach that prevents conflicts by schedul...

An integrated hardware-software approach to flexible transactional memory
There has been considerable recent interest in the support of transactional memory (TM) in both hardware and software. We present an intermediate approach, in which hardware is us...
