Using Hardware Memory Protection to Build a High-Performance, Strongly-Atomic Hybrid Transactional Memory
We demonstrate how fine-grained memory protection can be used in support of transactional memory systems: first showing how a software transactional memory system (STM) can be m...

TokenTM: Efficient Execution of Large Transactions with Hardware Transactional Memory
Current hardware transactional memory systems seek to simplify parallel programming, but assume that large transactions are rare, so it is acceptable to penalize their performance...

xCalls: safe I/O in memory transactions
Memory transactions, similar to database transactions, allow a programmer to focus on the logic of their program and let the system ensure that transactions are atomic and isolate...
