Feedback-directed barrier optimization in a strongly isolated STM
Speed improvements in today's processors have largely been delivered in the form of multiple cores, increasing the importance of ions that ease parallel programming. Software...

Software Transactional Memory on Relaxed Memory Models
Abstract. Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These assumptio...

AVIO: detecting atomicity violations via access interleaving invariants
Concurrency bugs are among the most difficult to test and diagnose of all software bugs. The multicore technology trend worsens this problem. Most previous concurrency bug detect...

ColorSafe: architectural support for debugging and dynamically avoiding multi-variable atomicity violations
In this paper, we propose ColorSafe, an architecture that detects and dynamically avoids single- and multi-variable atomicity violation bugs. The key idea is to group related data...

Atom-Aid: Detecting and Surviving Atomicity Violations
Writing shared-memory parallel programs is error-prone. Among the concurrency errors that programmers often face are atomicity violations, which are especially challenging. They h...
