Transactions can simplify distributed applications by hiding data distribution, concurrency, and failures from the application developer. Ideally the developer would see the abstraction of a single large machine that runs transactions sequentially and neve ...

Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) makes it possible for data structures to tolerate transient failures, assuming however that programmers have designed these structures such that their consistency is preserved upon recovery. Previous ap- proaches are typically tran ...

Distributed transactions on modern RDMA clusters promise high throughput and low latency for scale-out workloads. As such, they can be particularly beneficial to large OLTP workloads, which require both. However, achieving good performance requires tuning ...

A Pragmatic Approach for Predicting the Scalability of Parallel Applications

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic

Predicting the scalability of parallel applications is becoming crucial now that the number of cores in modern CPUs doubles roughly every two years. Traditional ways to get some understanding of the scalability of a parallel application rely on extensive e ...

STM in the Small: Trading Generality for Performance in Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

Data structures implemented using software transactional memory (STM) have a reputation for being much slower than data structures implemented directly from low-level primitives such as atomic compare-and-swap (CAS). In this paper we present a specialized ...

On the Performance of Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

The recent proliferation of multi-core processors has moved concurrent programming into mainstream by forcing increasingly more programmers to write parallel code. Using traditional concurrency techniques, such as locking, is notoriously difficult and has ...

On The Power of Hardware Transactional Memory to Simplify Memory Management

Aleksandar Dragojevic

Dynamic memory management is a significant source of complexity in the design and implementation of practical concurrent data structures. We study how hardware transactional memory (HTM) can be used to simplify and streamline memory reclamation for such da ...
