Software transactional memory (STM) guarantees that a transaction, consisting of a sequence of operations on the memory, appears to be executed atomically. In practice, it is impor...
The performance of the barrier operation can be crucial for many parallel codes. Especially distributed shared memory systems have to synchronize frequently to ensure the proper o...

Software transactional memory systems enable a programmer to easily write concurrent data structures such as lists, trees, hashtables, and graphs, where non-conflicting operation...
We present a memory-aware load balancing (MALB) technique to dispatch transactions to replicas in a replicated database. Our MALB algorithm exploits knowledge of the working sets ...
