Using data structure knowledge for efficient lock generation and strong atomicity
To achieve high-performance on multicore systems, sharedmemory parallel languages must efficiently implement atomic operations. The commonly used and studied paradigms for atomici...

Exploiting distributed version concurrency in a transactional memory cluster
We investigate a transactional memory runtime system providing scaling and strong consistency for generic C++ and SQL applications on commodity clusters. We introduce a novel page...

Quantifying Thread Vulnerability for Multicore Architectures
Abstract—Continuously reducing transistor sizes and aggressive low power operating modes employed by modern architectures tend to increase transient error rates. Concurrently, mu...

Detecting and tolerating asymmetric races
Because data races represent a hard-to-manage class of errors in concurrent programs, numerous approaches to detect them have been proposed and evaluated. We specifically consider...

A comprehensive strategy for contention management in software transactional memory
In Software Transactional Memory (STM), contention management refers to the mechanisms used to ensure forward progress-to avoid livelock and starvation, and to promote throughput ...
