In combining-based synchronization, two main parameters that affect performance are the
com-bining degree of the synchronization algorithm, ie the average number of requests that …

This paper evaluates the applicability of transactional memory to the implementation of
different non-blocking data structures in the context of the Real-time Specification for Java. In …

In this dissertation, we consider software transactional memory (STM) for concurrency
control in multicore real-time software, and present a suite of real-time STM contention …

Transactional memory is a promising technique for enforcing disciplined access to shared
data in a multiprocessor system. Transactional memory simplifies the implementation of a …

Currently, most computer systems are running on multiprocessors (or multicores). Moreover,
the number of cores inside the processor are expected to increase. To be able to utilise the …

We present Hydra, a blocking synchronization protocol which significantly outperforms all
previous state-of-the-art synchronization algorithms. We experimentally show that the …
