We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), ahybrid TM system that
reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the …

There has been considerable recent interest in both hardware andsoftware transactional
memory (TM). We present an intermediateapproach, in which hardware serves to accelerate …

Transactional memory (TM) promises to substantially reduce the difficulty of writing correct,
efficient, and scalable concurrent programs. But" bounded" and" best-effort" hardware TM …

Transactional memory provides a concurrency control mechanism that avoids many of the
pitfalls of lock-based synchronization. Researchers have proposed several different …

Hardware transactional memory should support unbounded transactions: transactions of
arbitrary size and duration. We describe a hardware implementation of unbounded …

For transactional memory (TM) to achieve widespread acceptance, transactions should not
be limited to the physical resources of any specific hardware implementation. TM systems …

Transactional Memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by allowing for parallel
execution of atomic tasks. Thus far, TM systems have focused on implementing transactional …

We demonstrate how fine-grained memory protection can be used in support of
transactional memory systems: first showing how a software transactional memory system …

Transactional memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by guaranteeing that
transactions appear to execute atomically and in isolation. Implementing these properties …

Over the last years Transactional Memory (TM) gained growing popularity as a simpler,
attractive alternative to classic lock-based synchronization schemes. Recently, the TM …
