(University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2008)Transactional memory promises to simplify multithreaded programming. Hardware TM (HTM) implementations promise better performance by augmenting processors with transactional state. However, HTMs interact poorly with the ... -
Pathological Interaction of Locks with Transactional Memory
Volos, Haris; Goyal, Neelam; Swift, Michael M. (University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Computer Sciences, 2008)Transactional memory (TM) promises to simplify multithreaded programming. Transactions provide mutual exclusion without the possibility of deadlock and the need to assign locks to data structures. To date, most ...
