Abstract—Transactional memory promises to generalize transactional programming to mainstream languages and data structures. The purported benefit of transactions is that they ar...
In Software Transactional Memory (STM), contention management refers to the mechanisms used to ensure forward progress-to avoid livelock and starvation, and to promote throughput ...
