Many of the challenges in building shared-memory data structures stem from needing to
update several memory locations at once—eg, updating four pointers to insert an item into a …

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) is a promising synchronization mechanism for the next
generation of multicore processors. Best-effort Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) …

In Software Transactional Memory (STM), contention management refers to the mechanisms
used to ensure forward progress--to avoid livelock and starvation, and to promote …

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

This paper presents a software transactional memory system that introduces first-class C++
language constructs for transactional programming. We describe new C++ language …

This paper introduces a new way to provide strong atomicity in an implementation of
transactional memory. Strong atomicity lets us offer clear semantics to programs, even if they …

Transactional Memory (TM) is being studied widely as a new technique for synchronizing
concurrent accesses to shared memory data structures for use in multi-core systems. Much …

It is expected that DRAM memory will be augmented, and perhaps eventually replaced, by
one of several up-and-coming memory technologies. These are all non-volatile, in that they …

Transactional memory is being advanced as an alternative to traditional lock-based
synchronization for concurrent programming. Transactional memory simplifies the …
