Why STM can be more than a research toy
Software Transactional Memory (STM) promises to simplify concurrent programming without requiring specific hardware support. Yet, STM’s credibility lies on the extent to which ...

Good Programming in Transactional Memory
Abstract. In a multicore transactional memory (TM) system, concurrent execution threads interact and interfere with each other through shared memory. The less interference a progra...
