Software Transactional Memory (STM) is an extensively studied paradigm that provides an easy-to-use mechanism for thread safety and concurrency control. With the recent advent of byte-addressable persistent memory, a natural question to ask…
Utilizing hardware transactional memory (HTM) in conjunction with non-volatile memory (NVM) to achieve persistence is quite difficult and somewhat awkward due to the fact that the primitives utilized to write data to NVM will abort HTM…
