Mutual exclusion locks remain the de facto mechanism for concurrency control on shared-
memory data structures. However, their apparent simplicity is deceptive: It is hard to design …

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

Atomos is the first programming language with implicit transactions, strong atomicity, and a
scalable multiprocessor implementation. Atomos is derived from Java, but replaces its …

Transactional memory (TM) provides mechanisms that promise to simplify parallel
programming by eliminating the need for locks and their associated problems (deadlock …
