Several Hybrid Transactional Memory (HyTM) schemes have recently been proposed to complement the fast, but best-effort, nature of Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) with a slow, reliable software backup. However, the fundamental…

Emerging Persistent Memory technologies (also PM, Non-Volatile DIMMs, Storage Class Memory or SCM) hold tremendous promise for accelerating popular data-management applications like in-memory databases. However, programmers now need to deal…

The crux of software transactional memory (STM) is to combine an easy-to-use programming interface with an efficient utilization of the concurrent-computing abilities provided by modern machines. But does this combination come with an…

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…

Traditional techniques for synchronization are based on \emph{locking} that provides threads with exclusive access to shared data. \emph{Coarse-grained} locking typically forces threads to access large amounts of data sequentially and,…

Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) allows lock-free programming as easy as with traditional coarse-grain locks or similar, while benefiting from the performance advantages of fine-grained locking. Many HTM implementations have been…

Transactional memory (TM) allows concurrent processes to organize sequences of operations on shared \emph{data items} into atomic transactions. A transaction may commit, in which case it appears to have executed sequentially or it may…

Transactional memory (TM) is a convenient synchronization tool that allows concurrent threads to declare sequences of instructions on shared data as speculative \emph{transactions} with "all-or-nothing" semantics. It is known that dynamic…

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…

Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies promise memory speed byte-addressable persistent storage with a load/store interface. However, programming applications to directly manipulate NVM data is complex and error-prone. Applications…

The hardware transactional memory (HTM) implementations in commercially available processors are significantly hindered by their tight capacity constraints. In practice, this renders current HTMs unsuitable to many real-world workloads of…

Writing concurrent programs for shared memory multiprocessor systems is a nightmare. This hinders users to exploit the full potential of multiprocessors. STM (Software Transactional Memory) is a promising concurrent programming paradigm…

In current microarchitectures, due to the complex memory hierarchies and different latencies on memory accesses, thread and data mapping are important issues to improve application performance. Software transactional memory (STM) is an…

Software Transactional Memory systems (STMs) have garnered significant interest as an elegant alternative for addressing synchronization and concurrency issues with multi-threaded programming in multi-core systems. Client programs use STMs…

Processing-In-Memory (PIM) is a novel approach that augments existing DRAM memory chips with lightweight logic. By allowing to offload computations to the PIM system, this architecture allows for circumventing the data-bottleneck problem…

Modern heterogeneous computing architectures, which couple multi-core CPUs with discrete many-core GPUs (or other specialized hardware accelerators), enable unprecedented peak performance and energy efficiency levels. Unfortunately, though,…

Research in transaction processing has made significant progress in improving the performance of multi-core in-memory transactional systems. However, the focus has mainly been on low-contention workloads. Modern transactional systems…

Software transactional memory (STM) allows programmers to easily implement concurrent data structures. STMs simplify atomicity. Recent STMs can achieve good performance for some workloads but they have some limitations. In particular, STMs…

Transactional memory (TM) is an inherently optimistic abstraction: it allows concurrent processes to execute sequences of shared-data accesses (transactions) speculatively, with an option of aborting them in the future. Early TM designs…

Parallel execution of smart contract transactions in large multicore architectures is critical for higher efficiency and improved throughput. The main bottleneck for maximizing the throughput of a node through parallel execution is…
