Brief announcement: single-version permissive STM

We present a single-version STM that satisfies a practical notion of permissiveness: it never aborts read-only transactions, and it only aborts an update transaction due to another conflicting update transaction, thereby avoiding many spurious aborts. It avoids unnecessary contention on the memory, being strictly disjoint-access parallel. Categories and Subject Descriptors
