Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...

Abstract. We analyse the validity of several common program transformations in multi-threaded Java, as defined by the Java Memory Model (JMM) section of Chapter 17 of the Java Lang...

The specification of the Java Memory Model (JMM) is phrased in terms of acceptors of execution sequences rather than the standard generative view of operational semantics. This cre...
