Advanced contention management for dynamic software transactional memory
The obstruction-free Dynamic Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) system of Herlihy et al. allows only one transaction at a time to acquire an object for writing. Should a second ...

Reliability mechanisms for file systems using non-volatile memory as a metadata store
Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...

An effective hybrid transactional memory system with strong isolation guarantees
We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

Tolerating Concurrency Bugs Using Transactions as Lifeguards
Abstract--Parallel programming is hard, because it is impractical to test all possible thread interleavings. One promising approach to improve a multi-threaded program's relia...
