The recent rise of byte-addressable non-volatile memory technologies is blurring the
dichotomy between memory and storage. In particular, they allow programmers to have …

We present DrTM, a fast in-memory transaction processing system that exploits advanced
hardware features (ie, RDMA and HTM) to improve latency and throughput by over one …

Writing concurrent programs is notoriously difficult, and is of increasing practical importance.
A particular source of concern is that even correctly-implemented concurrency abstractions …

Transactional memory (TM) is perceived as an appealing alternative to critical sections for
general purpose concurrent programming. Despite the large amount of recent work on TM …

RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) has gained considerable interests in network-
attached in-memory key-value stores. However, traversing the remote tree-based index in …

Drawing inspiration from several previous projects, we present an ownership-record-free
software transactional memory (STM) system that combines extremely low overhead with …

Software transactional memory: why is it only a research toy? Page 1 40 communications of the
acm | NovEmbER 2008 | vol. 51 | No. 11 practice trAnsActionAL MEMorY (TM)13 is a …

Recent transaction processing systems attempt to leverage advanced hardware features like
RDMA and HTM to significantly boost performance, which, however, pose several limitations …

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

While Sequential Consistency (SC) is the most intuitive memory consistency model and the
one most programmers likely assume, current multiprocessors do not support it. Instead …
