Symbolic prefetching in transactional distributed shared memory
We present a static analysis for the automatic generation of symbolic prefetches in a transactional distributed shared memory. A symbolic prefetch specifies the first object to be...

Ordering-Based Semantics for Software Transactional Memory
It has been widely suggested that memory transactions should behave as if they acquired and released a single global lock. Unfortunately, this behavior can be expensive to achieve...

A Software Transactional Memory System for an Asymmetric Processor Architecture
Due to the advent of multi-core processors and the consequent need for better concurrent programming abstractions, new synchronization paradigms have emerged. A promising one, kno...

STMBench7: a benchmark for software transactional memory
Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than explicit coarse...

Scalable Techniques for Transparent Privatization in Software Transactional Memory
—We address the recently recognized privatization problem in software transactional memory (STM) runtimes, and introduce the notion of partially visible reads (PVRs) to heuristic...
