The current generation of software transactional memories has the advantage of being
simple and efficient. Nevertheless, there are several parameters that affect the performance …

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 …

Most high-performance software transactional memories (STM) use optimistic invisible
reads. Consequently, a transaction might have an inconsistent view of the objects it …

Software transactional memory (STM) is a concurrency control mechanism that is widely
considered to be easier to use by programmers than other mechanisms such as locking. The …

Batteryless energy-harvesting devices are computing platforms that operate in environments
where batteries are not viable for energy storage. Energy-harvesting devices operate …

Persistent transactional memory (PTM) programming model has recently been exploited to
provide crash-consistent transactional interfaces to ease programming atop NVM. However …

Time-based transactional memories use time to reason about the consistency of data
accessed by transactions and about the order in which transactions commit. They avoid the …

Building applications that are responsive and can exploit parallel hardware while remaining
simple to write, understand, test, and maintain, poses an important challenge for developers …

TL2 and similar STM algorithms deliver high scalability based on write-locking and invisible
readers. In fact, no modern STM design locks to read along its common execution path …

Snapshot isolation (SI) is a widely used consistency model for transaction processing,
implemented by most major databases and some of transactional memory systems …
