Transactional memory is an attractive design concept for scalable multiprocessors because it offers efficient lock-free synchronization and greatly simplifies parallel software....
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) databases include a suite of features -- disk-resident B-trees and heap files, locking-based concurrency control, support for multi-threading ...
