Non-volatile main memory, such as memristors or phase change memory, can revolutionize
the way programs persist data. In-memory objects can themselves be persistent without the …

Applications must be able to synchronize accesses to operating system resources in order to
ensure correctness in the face of concurrency and system failures. System transactions …

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

Block copolymers consist of two or more different homopolymer chains that are covalently
bonded together. These chemically disparate components usually are not miscible with …

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

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from
operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in …

Hierarchical heavy hitters (HHH) identification is useful for various network utilities such as
anomaly detection, DDoS mitigation, and traffic analysis. However, the increasing support …

Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an optimistic concurrency control mechanism that
simplifies the development of parallel programs. Still, the interest of STM has not yet been …

Transactional memory promises to generalize transactional programming to mainstream
languages and data structures. The purported benefit of transactions is that they are easier …

Transactional Memory (TM) promises both to provide a scalable mechanism for
synchronization in concurrent programs, and to offer ease-of-use benefits to programmers …
