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

We present an analytical performance modeling approach for concurrency control
algorithms in the context of Software Transactional Memories (STMs). We consider a …

Conducting a thorough performance evaluation of an STM is very time consuming.
Depressingly, even with all this effort, and even with the same application, it can still be hard …

This paper presents ESTIMA, an easy-to-use tool for extrapolating the scalability of in-
memory applications. ESTIMA is designed to perform a simple, yet important task: given the …

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

In this paper, we develop a queuing theory based analytical model to evaluate the
performance of transactional memory. Based on the statistical characteristics observed on …

This article presents estima, an easy-to-use tool for extrapolating the scalability of in-memory
applications. estima is designed to perform a simple yet important task: Given the …

This paper investigates the problem of deriving a white box performance model of Hardware
Transactional Memory (HTM) systems. The proposed model targets TSX, a popular …

An analytic model is proposed to assess the performance of optimistic software transactional
memory (STM) systems with in-place memory updates for write operations. Based on an …

We extend an existing analytic framework for modeling software transactional memory
(STM) to an optimistic STM variant in which write locks are acquired lazily. Lazy locking …
