The reality of multi-core hardware has made concurrent programs pervasive. Unfortunately,
writing correct concurrent programs is difficult. Addressing this challenge requires advances …

Drawing inspiration from several previous projects, we present an ownership-record-free
software transactional memory (STM) system that combines extremely low overhead with …

Transactional memory (TM) promises to simplify concurrent programming while providing
scalability competitive to fine-grained locking. Language-based constructs allow …

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 …

This monograph grows out of nearly 40 years of experience in synchronization and
concurrent data structures. Though written primarily from the perspective of systems …

Abstract\Ve present a method for optimizing and automating component and transistor sizing
for CMOS operational amplifiers. lVe observe that a wide variety of performance measura …

TxLinux is a variant of Linux that is the first operating system to use hardware transactional
memory (HTM) as a synchronization primitive, and the first to manage HTM in the scheduler …

Over the last decade, great progress has been made in develo** practical transactional
memory (TM) implementations, but relatively little attention has been paid to precisely …

Most systems that support speculative parallelization, like hardware transactional memory
(HTM), do not support nested parallelism. This sacrifices substantial parallelism and …
