Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for writing concurrent programs. So far, most STM approaches have been experimentally evaluated with small-scale microbenchmarks. In this paper, we present several surprising results from impleme ...
Software transactional memory (STM) offers a disciplined concurrent programming model for exploiting the parallelism of modern processor architectures. This paper presents the first \emph{deterministic} specification automata for strict serializability and ...
Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. Whereas the number of TM implementations is growing, however, little research has been conducted to precisely define TM semantics, especially their progress guarantees. This pape ...
A concurrent object is an object that can be concurrently accessed by several processes. It has been shown by Maurice Herlihy that any concurrent object O defined by a sequential specification can be wait-free implemented from reliable atomic registers (sh ...

This paper is concerned with performance debugging of multi- tier applications, such as commonly found in servers and dynamic-content web sites. Existing tools and techniques for profiling such applications are not general enough to track and profile trans ...
Instruction-cache misses account for up to 40%; of execution time in online transaction processing (OLTP) database workloads. In contrast to data cache misses, instruction misses cannot be overlapped with out-of-order execution. Chip design limitations do ...
Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than coarse-grained locking and easier to use than fine-grained locks. However, STM implementatio ...
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 ...
Abstract. Software transactional memory (STM) offers a disciplined concurrent programming model for exploiting the parallelism of modern processor architectures. This paper presents the first deterministic specification automata for strict serializability ...
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 ...
