Performance of modern computers is tied closely to the effective use of cache because of the continually increasing speed discrepancy between processors and main memory. We demons...
The adoption of transactional memory is hindered by the high overhead of software transactional memory and the intrusive design changes required by previously proposed TM hardware...
