In recent software transactional memory proposals, a contention manager module is responsible for ensuring that the system as a whole makes progress. A number of contention manage...
Mutual exclusion locks limit concurrency but offer low latency. Software transactional memory (STM) typically has higher latency, but scales well. In this paper we propose transac...
