Distributed Transactional Memory for Metric-Space Networks
Transactional Memory is a concurrent programming API in which concurrent threads synchronize via transactions (instead of locks). Although this model has mostly been studied in the...

Optimizing memory transactions
Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement...

A Scalable, Non-blocking Approach to Transactional Memory
Transactional Memory (TM) provides mechanisms that promise to simplify parallel programming by eliminating the need for locks and their associated problems (deadlock, livelock, pr...

Semantics of transactional memory and automatic mutual exclusion
Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an attractive basis for the development of language features for concurrent programming. However, the semantics of these features can be del...
