Portable consumer devices are increasing more and more their capabilities and can now implement new multimedia algorithms that were resewed only for powerful workstations few years ago. Unfortunately, the original design characteristics of such algorithms ...
Transactional memory is perceived as an appealing alternative to critical sections for general purpose concurrent programming. Despite the large amount of recent work on transactional memory implementations, however, its actual specification has never been ...
This position paper shows how Ada 95 exceptions have been used in a prototype implementation of a transaction support in order to provide more elaborate exception handling. The paper summarizes the open multithreaded transaction model, which is a transacti ...
The programming language research community-a fraction of the much larger and more vibrant language community-has increasingly turned inward and focused on narrow, technical contributions rather than the larger concerns of the computer science community or ...
In practice, concurrent programming systems based on message passing are often instantiations of the actor model. A popular implementation of this form of concurrency is the Erlang programming language. Erlang supports massively concurrent systems such as ...
Portable embedded devices must presently run multimedia and wireless network applications with enormous computational performance requirements at a low energy consumption. In these applications, the dynamic memory subsystem is one of the main sources of po ...
Complex distributed object-oriented systems often need complex concurrency features, which may go beyond the traditional concurrency control associated with separate method calls. A transaction groups together a sequence of operations, and can therefore en ...
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 implementations, however, very little effort has been devoted to precisely def ...
Join patterns are an attractive declarative way to synchronize both threads and asynchronous distributed computations. We explore joins in the context of extensible pattern matching that recently appeared in languages such as F# and Scala. Our implementati ...
