Transactional memory is emerging as a parallel programming paradigm for multi-core processors. Despite the recent interest in transactional memory, there has been no study to char...
Abstract Design patterns are micro architectures, high-level building blocks which describe the solutions to speci c problems in software design. These solutions have generally bee...
Multi-threaded commercial workloads implement many important internet services. Consequently, these workloads are increasingly used to evaluate the performance of uniprocessor and...
Serializing instructions (SIs), such as writes to control registers, have many complex dependencies, and are difficult to execute out-of-order (OoO). To avoid unnecessary complexi...
