Session details: Transactional memory I

Multi-core architectures bring parallel programming into the mainstream. Parallel programming poses many new challenges to the developer, one of which is synchronizing concurrent access to shared memory by multiple threads. Programmers have ...

This paper proposes the View-Oriented Transactional Memory (VOTM) model to seamlessly integrate locking mechanism and transactional memory. The VOTM model allows programmers to partition the shared memory into "views", which are non-overlapping sets of ...

Exploiting thread level parallelism is paramount in the multicore era. Transactions enable programmers to expose such parallelism by greatly simplifying the multi-threaded programming model. Virtualized transactions (unbounded in space and time) are ...
