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 …

This paper describes an end-to-end system implementation of the transactional memory
(TM) programming model on top of the hardware transactional memory (HTM) of the Blue …

In this paper, we present the most extensive comparison of synchronization techniques. We
evaluate 5 different synchronization techniques through a series of 31 data structure …

Read-copy update (RCU) is a synchronization technique that often replaces reader-writer
locking because RCU's read-side primitives are both wait-free and an order of magnitude …

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

Transactional Memory (TM) is a new programming paradigm for both simple concurrent
programming and high concurrent performance. Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) is …

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 describes the development of a video-based continuous sign language
recognition system. The system is based on continuous density hidden Markov models …

Graphics processor units (GPUs) are designed to efficiently exploit thread level parallelism
(TLP), multiplexing execution of 1000s of concurrent threads on a relatively smaller set of …

Over the last years Transactional Memory (TM) gained growing popularity as a simpler,
attractive alternative to classic lock-based synchronization schemes. Recently, the TM …
