The most intuitive memory model for shared-memory multithreaded programming is sequential consistency (SC), but it disallows the use of many compiler and hardware optimizations th...

Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
—We address the recently recognized privatization problem in software transactional memory (STM) runtimes, and introduce the notion of partially visible reads (PVRs) to heuristic...
