On the power of hardware transactional memory to simplify memory management
Dynamic memory management is a significant source of complexity in the design and implementation of practical concurrent data structures. We study how hardware transactional memo...

Transactional memory with strong atomicity using off-the-shelf memory protection hardware
This paper introduces a new way to provide strong atomicity in an implementation of transactional memory. Strong atomicity lets us offer clear semantics to programs, even if they ...

Software Transactional Memory on Relaxed Memory Models
Abstract. Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These assumptio...

Dynamic analysis of the relay cache-coherence protocol for distributed transactional memory
Transactional memory is an alternative programming model for managing contention in accessing shared in-memory data objects. Distributed transactional memory (TM) promises to alle...
