Employing Transactional Memory and Helper Threads to Speedup Dijkstra's Algorithm
In this paper we work on the parallelization of the inherently serial Dijkstra's algorithm on modern multicore platforms. Dijkstra's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that ...

Refereeing conflicts in hardware transactional memory
In the search for high performance, most transactional memory (TM) systems execute atomic blocks concurrently and must thus be prepared for data conflicts. The TM system must then...

Transactional Memory: Architectural Support for Lock-Free Data Structures
A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be pr...
