Improving the practicality of transactional memory
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Transactional Memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by transferring responsibility for concurrency management from the programmer to the system. Nevertheless, a number of challenges must be addressed for TM to be widely adopted. This dissertation presents work towards improving the practicality of TM across three dimensions: improving programmability, supporting nested parallel transactions, and checking the correctness of TM systems.
