The saturation of design complexity and clock frequencies for single-core processors has
resulted in the emergence of multicore architectures as an alternative design paradigm …

The initiation to have a concept of shared memory in processors has built an opportunity for
thread level parallelism. In various applications, synchronization or ordering tools are …

Transactional Memory (TM) has been proposed as an architectural extension to enable lock-
free data structures. With the ubiquity of multi-core systems, the idea of TM gains new …

Semiconductor technology improvements enable designers to integrate complex systems
composed of tens and even hundreds of modules (blocks or components) into a single chip …

This paper describes the development of Bluebox, a synthesizable processor architecture.
We describe and apply a design methodology that enables rapid prototyping, based on …

This thesis attempts to bring together two recent topics by presenting a flexible Transactional
Memory environment on a multicore prototype that is realized on FPGA fabric. For this, we …
