Dependence-aware transactional memory for increased concurrency
—Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for helping programmers take advantage of emerging multicore platforms. Though they perform well under low contention, hardware...

Consistent Main-Memory Database Federations under Deferred Disk Writes
Current cluster architectures provide the ideal environment to run federations of main-memory database systems (FMMDBs). In FMMDBs, data resides in the main memory of the federati...

An effective hybrid transactional memory system with strong isolation guarantees
We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

TxLinux and MetaTM: transactional memory and the operating system
TxLinux is the first operating system to use hardware transactional memory (HTM) as a synchronization primitive, and the first to manage HTM in the scheduler. TxLinux, which is a ...
