Drawing inspiration from several previous projects, we present an ownership-record-free
software transactional memory (STM) system that combines extremely low overhead with …

In Software Transactional Memory (STM), contention management refers to the mechanisms
used to ensure forward progress--to avoid livelock and starvation, and to promote …

Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on
shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and …

Mutual exclusion (mutex) locks limit concurrency but offer low single-thread latency.
Software transactional memory (STM) typically has much higher latency, but scales well. We …

In the transactional memory (TM) community, much debate has revolved around the choice
of strong vs. weak isolation (SI vs. WI) between transactions and conflicting nontransactional …

Smart contract transactions demonstrate issues of performance and correctness that
application programmers must work around. Although the blockchain consensus …

Correct transactional memory systems (TMs) must address the possibility that a speculative
transaction may read mutually inconsistent values from memory and then perform an …

C++ has supported a provisional version of Transactional Memory (TM) since 2015, via a
technical specification. However, TM has not seen widespread adoption, and compiler …

Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an attractive basis for the development of language
features for concurrent programming. However, the semantics of these features can be …

Many researchers have developed applications using transactionalmemory (TM) with the
purpose of benchmarking different implementations, and studying whether or not TM is easy …
