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...

In the search for high performance, most transactional memory (TM) systems execute atomic blocks concurrently and must thus be prepared for data conflicts. The TM system must then...
We explore the potential of hardware transactional memory (HTM) to improve concurrent algorithms. We illustrate a number of use cases in which HTM enables significantly simpler c...

As reconfigurable computing hardware and in particular FPGA-based systems-on-chip comprise an increasing number of processor and accelerator cores, supporting sharing and synchroni...

Multiprocessor architects have begun to explore several mechanisms such as prefetching, context-switching and software-assisted dynamic cache-coherence, which transform single-pha...
