Techniques to improve concurrency in hardware transactional memory
Adrià Armejach Sanosa
Abstract:Transactional Memory (TM) aims to make shared memory parallel programming easier by abstracting away the complexity of managing shared data. The programmer defines sections of code, called transactions, which the TM system guarantees that will execute atomically and in isolation from the rest of the system. The programmer is not required to implement such behaviour, as happens in traditional mutual exclusion techniques like locks - that responsibility is delegated to the underlying TM system. In addition, tran… Show more
