When a program uses Software TransactionalMemory (STM) to synchronize accesses to
shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used …

Software transactional memory (STM) can lead to scalable implementations of concurrent
programs, as the relative performance of an application increases with the number of …

We present a virtual machine prototype, called HydraVM, that automatically extracts
parallelism from legacy sequential code (at the bytecode level) through a set of techniques …

This article presents Pot, a system that leverages the concept of preordered transactions to
achieve deterministic multithreaded execution of programs that use Transactional Memory …

Speculative software parallelism has gained renewed interest recently as a mechanism to
leverage multiple cores on emerging architectures. Two major mechanisms have been used …

When the transactional memory system detects conflicts, the more read-write addresses are,
the higher the false positive rate of this algorithm is. This paper studies the problem and …

Data-dependence profiling is a technique that enables a compiler to judiciously decide
when the execution of a loop---which the compiler could not prove to be dependence free …

Most applications running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) make extensive use of
dynamic object-oriented programming features such as inheritance, polymorphism, and …

With multicore processors becoming ubiquitous on computing devices, the need for both
parallelizing existing sequential applications and designing new parallel applications is …

The exploitation of optimistic concurrency in modern multicore architectures via
Transactional Memory (TM) is becoming a mainstream programming paradigm. TM features …
