Most Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) implementations choose fixed version and
conflict management policies at design time. While eager HTM systems store transactional …

Version management, one of the key design dimensions of hardware transactional memory
(HTM) systems, defines where and how transactional modifications are stored. Current HTM …

Memory transactions, similar to database transactions, allow a programmer to focus on the
logic of their program and let the system ensure that transactions are atomic and isolated …

Recursive ray tracing is a powerful rendering technique used to compute realistic images by
simulating the global light transport in a scene. Algorithmic improvements and FPGA-based …

Multithreaded programs often suffer from synchronization bugs such as atomicity violations
and deadlocks. These bugs arise from complicated locking strategies and ad hoc …

Transactional memory (TM) promises to simplify multithreaded programming. Transactions
provide mutual exclusion without the possibility of deadlock and the need to assign locks to …

A minimal, bounded hardware transactional memory implementation significantly improves
synchronization performance when used in an operating system kernel. We add HTM to …

Multi-core programming remains a major software development and maintenance challenge
because of data races, deadlock, non-deterministic failures and complex performance …

Transactional Memory is a promising parallel programming model that addresses the
programmability issues of lock-based applications using mechanisms that are transparent to …

Supporting unbounded transactions and operating system (OS) are two notable challenges
that need to be efficiently resolved by practically accepted hardware transaction memory …
