On the Input Acceptance of Transactional Memory

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

We present the Input Acceptance of Transactional Memory (TM). Despite the large interest for performance of TMs, no existing research work has investigated the impact of solving a conflict that does not need to be solved. Traditional solutions for a TM to ...

Extensible Transactional Memory Testbed

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

Transactional Memory (TM) is a promising abstraction as it hides all synchronization complexities from the programmers of concurrent applications. More particularly the TM paradigm operated a complexity shift from the application programming to the TM prog ...

TMunit: Testing Transactional Memories

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

Transactional memory (TM) is expected to become a widely used parallel programming paradigm for multi-core architectures. To reach this goal, we need tools that do not only help develop TMs, but also test them and evaluate them on a wide range of workloads ...

Why STM can be more than a Research Toy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

Software Transactional Memory (STM) promises to simplify concurrent programming without requiring speciﬁc hardware support. Yet, STM’s credibility lies on the extent to which it can leverage multi-cores to outperform sequential code. A recent CACM paper [8 ...

Elastic Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

This paper presents elastic transactions, a variant of the transactional model. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so far within a separate transaction that immediately commits, and initiate a new transaction which might ...

Toward a Theory of Input Acceptance for Transactional Memories

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

As opposed to database transactional systems, transactional memory (TM) systems are constrained by real-time while treating their input workload. Nevertheless, there is no clear formalization of how a TM should react regarding to a specific input. While TM ...

The many faces of publish/subscribe

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Patrick Eugster, Pascal Felber

Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received increasing attention. With systems based on the publish/subscribe interaction scheme, subs ...

Probabilistic Atomic Broadcast

Fernando Pedone, Pascal Felber

Reliable distributed protocols, such as consensus and atomic broadcast, are known to scale poorly with large number of processes. Recent research has shown that algorithms providing probabilistic guarantees are a promising alternative for such environments ...

Optimistic Active Replication

André Schiper, Pascal Felber

Replication is a powerful technique for increasing availability of a distributed service. Algorithms for replicating distributed services do however face a dilemma: they should be (1) efficient (low latency), while (2) ensuring consistency of the replicas, ...
