Transactional memory for smalltalk
Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...

Single global lock semantics in a weakly atomic STM
As memory transactions have been proposed as a language-level replacement for locks, there is growing need for well-defined semantics. In contrast to database transactions, transa...

Transactions in the jungle
Transactional memory (TM) has shown potential to simplify the task of writing concurrent programs. Inspired by classical work on databases, formal definitions of the semantics of...

NV-Heaps: making persistent objects fast and safe with next-generation, non-volatile memories
nt, user-defined objects present an attractive abstraction for working with non-volatile program state. However, the slow speed of persistent storage (i.e., disk) has restricted ...
