Operating systems can efficiently provide system transactions to user applications, in which user-level processes can execute a series of system calls atomically and in isolation ...
Abstract. Dynamic separation is a new programming discipline for systems with transactional memory. We study it formally in the setting of a small calculus with transactions. We pr...
Today's transactional memory systems implement the two-phase-locking (2PL) algorithm which aborts transactions every time a conflict happens. 2PL is a simple algorithm that pr...
Abstract: Transactions and recoverable memories are powerful mechanisms for handling failures and manipulating persistent data. Unfortunately, standard recoverable memories incur a...
—We show how to verify the correctness of transactional memory implementations with a model checker. We show how to specify transactional memory in terms of the admissible interc...
