Deadlock is an increasingly pressing concern as the multicore revolution forces parallel
programming upon the average programmer. Existing approaches to deadlock impose …

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

This monograph grows out of nearly 40 years of experience in synchronization and
concurrent data structures. Though written primarily from the perspective of systems …

Transactional Memory (TM) is a practical programming paradigm for developing concurrent
applications. Performance is a critical factor for TM implementations, and various studies …

The addition of transactional memory (TM) support to existing languages provides the
opportunity to create new soft-ware from scratch using transactions, and also to simplify or …

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 …

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 …

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

Transactional Memory (TM) has been proposed as an alternative concurrency mechanism
for the shared memory parallel programming model. Its main goal is to make parallel …

Recent microprocessors and compilers have added support for transactional memory (TM).
While state-of-the-art TM systems allow the replacement of lock-based critical sections with …
