Stencil computations are the basis to solve many problems related to Partial Differential
Equations (PDEs). Obtaining the best performance with such numerical kernels is a major …

Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an alternative abstraction to synchronize
processes in parallel programming. One advantage is simplicity since it is possible to …

Abstract The Transactional Memory (TM) paradigm aims at simplifying the development of
concurrent applications by means of the familiar abstraction of atomic transaction. After a …

Transactional memory (TM) is a programming paradigm that facilitates parallel programming
for multi‐core processors. In the last few years, some chip manufacturers provided hardware …

Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an abstraction to synchronize accesses to shared
resources. It simplifies parallel programming by replacing the use of explicit locks and …

Abstract Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an alternative abstraction for process
synchronization in parallel programming. It is often easier to use than locks, avoiding issues …

A parallel program needs to manage the trade‐off between the time spent in synchronisation
and computation. This trade‐off is significantly affected by its parallelism degree. A high …

Many different mechanisms have been developed to implement Distributed Transactional
Memory (DTM). Unfortunately, there is no “one-size-fits-all” design that offers the desirable …

This paper addresses the problem of self-tuning the parallelism degree in Transactional
Memory (TM) systems that support parallel nesting (PN-TM). This problem has been long …

In current microarchitectures, due to the complex memory hierarchies and different latencies
on memory accesses, thread and data mapping are important issues to improve application …
