Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
Writing concurrent programs is notoriously difficult, and is of increasing practical importance. A particular source of concern is n correctly-implemented concurrency abstraction...
