Writing applications that benefit from the massive computational power of future multicore
chip multiprocessors will not be an easy task for mainstream programmers accustomed to …

The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating
transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach …

Recent years have seen the development of several different systems for software
transactional memory (STM). Most either employ locks in the underlying implementation or …

Transactional memory provides a concurrency control mechanism that avoids many of the
pitfalls of lock-based synchronization. Researchers have proposed several different …

A high-concurrency transactional memory (TM) implementation needs to track concurrent
accesses, buffer speculative updates, and manage conflicts. We present a system, FlexTM …

Hardware transactional memory has great potential to simplify the creation ofcorrect and
efficient multithreaded programs, allowing programmers to exploitmore effectively the soon …

This paper presents a software transactional memory system that introduces first-class C++
language constructs for transactional programming. We describe new C++ language …

BACKGROUND In modern computing systems, multiple processors can be present and
each Such processor may execute different threads of code of a common application. To …

In a software transactional memory (STM) system, conflict detection is the problem of
determining when two transactions cannot both safely commit. Validation is the related …
