Writing concurrent programs is notoriously difficult, and is of increasing practical importance.
A particular source of concern is that even correctly-implemented concurrency abstractions …

We present the introduction of transactional memory into the next generation IBM System z
CPU. We first describe the instruction-set architecture features, including requirements for …

This paper proposes a hardware transactional memory (HTM) system called LogTM
Signature Edition (LogTM-SE). LogTM-SE uses signatures to summarize a transactions read …

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 …

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 …

On the twentieth anniversary of the original publication [10], following ten years of intense
activity in the research literature, hardware support for transactional memory (TM) has finally …

Chip multi-processors (CMPs) have become ubiquitous, while tools that ease concurrent
programming have not. The promise of increased performance for all applications through …

Characterizing the communication behavior of large-scale applications is a difficult and
costly task due to code/system complexity and long execution times. While many tools to …

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