Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies promise durability with read and write
latencies comparable to volatile memory (DRAM). We define Persistent Memory (PM) as …

Last-Level Cache (LLC) attacks typically exploit timing side channels in hardware, and thus
rely heavily on timers for their operation. Many proposed defenses against such side …

We report on our experience with the hardware transactional memory (HTM) feature of two
pre-production revisions of a new commercial multicore processor. Our experience includes …

We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), ahybrid TM system that
reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the …

Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) systems reflect choices from three key design
dimensions: conflict detection, version management, and conflict resolution. Previously …

Transactional memory systems are expected to enable parallel programming at lower
programming complexity, while delivering improved performance over traditional lock-based …

An increasing number of households is connected to the Internet via DSL or cable, for which
home gateways are required. The optimization of these-caused by their large number-is a …

We present Swarm, a novel architecture that exploits ordered irregular parallelism, which is
abundant but hard to mine with current software and hardware techniques. In this …

AMD's Advanced Synchronization Facility (ASF) is an x86 instruction set extension proposal
intended to simplify and speed up the synchronization of concurrent programs. In this paper …
