Non-volatile main memory, such as memristors or phase change memory, can revolutionize
the way programs persist data. In-memory objects can themselves be persistent without the …

Transactional memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by guaranteeing that
transactions appear to execute atomically and in isolation. Implementing these properties …

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 …

This paper proposes a hardware transactional memory (HTM) system called LogTM
Signature Edition (LogTM-SE). LogTM-SE uses signatures to summarize a transactions read …

We present the introduction of transactional memory into the next generation IBM System z
CPU. We first describe the instruction-set architecture features, including requirements for …

The shift from single to multiple core architectures means that programmers must write
concurrent, multithreaded programs in order to increase application performance …

Programmers have traditionally used locks to synchronize concurrent access to shared data.
Lock-based synchronization, however, has well-known pitfalls: using locks for fine-grain …

Transactional memory has great potential for simplifying multithreaded programming by
allowing programmers to specify regions of the program that must appear to execute …

Nested transactional memory (TM) facilitates software composition by letting one module
invoke another without either knowing whether the other uses transactions. Closed nested …

Transactional Memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by allowing for parallel
execution of atomic tasks. Thus far, TM systems have focused on implementing transactional …
