On avoiding spare aborts in transactional memory
This paper takes a step toward developing a theory for understanding aborts in transactional memory systems (TMs). Existing TMs may abort many transactions that could, in fact, co...

Using Analytical Models to Efficiently Explore Hardware Transactional Memory and Multi-Core Co-Design
Transactional memory is emerging as a parallel programming paradigm for multi-core processors. Despite the recent interest in transactional memory, there has been no study to char...

Steal-on-Abort: Improving Transactional Memory Performance through Dynamic Transaction Reordering
Abstract. In transactional memory, aborted transactions reduce performance, and waste computing resources. Ideally, concurrent execution of transactions should be optimally ordered...

Modeling transactional memory workload performance
Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...

Modeling the Run-time Behavior of Transactional Memory
In this paper, we develop a queuing theory based analytical model to evaluate the performance of transactional memory. Based on the statistical characteristics observed on actual e...
