Transactional memory for smalltalk
Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...

Transactional Memory: Glimmer of a Theory
Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. This paper is an overview of our recent theoretical work on defining a theory of TM. We first recall s...

Optimizing memory transactions
Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement...

Implementing Signatures for Transactional Memory
Transactional Memory (TM) systems must track the read and write sets—items read and written during a transaction—to detect conflicts among concurrent transactions. Several TM...

Reducing Ownership Overhead for Load-Store Sequences in Cache-Coherent Multiprocessors
Parallel programs that modify shared data in a cachecoherent multiprocessor with a write-invalidate coherence protocol create ownership overhead in the form of ownership acquisiti...
