Software transactions have received significant attention as a way to simplify shared-memory concurrent programming, but insufficient focus has been given to the precise meaning o...
We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

“Is transactional memory useful?” is the question that cannot be answered until we provide substantial applications that can evaluate its capabilities. While existing TM appli...

Transactional memory (TM) provides an easy-to-use and high-performance parallel programming model for the upcoming chip-multiprocessor systems. Several researchers have proposed a...

This paper introduces a new way to provide strong atomicity in an implementation of transactional memory. Strong atomicity lets us offer clear semantics to programs, even if they ...
