Contention Management in Dynamic Software Transactional Memory∗
Obstruction-free concurrent algorithms differ from those with stronger nonblocking conditions in that they separate progress from correctness. While it must always maintain data invariants, an obstructionfree algorithm need only guarantee progress in the absence of contention. The programmer can (and indeed must) address progress as an out-of-band, orthogonal concern. In this work we consider t...
متن کاملAdaptive Software Transactional Memory: A Dynamic Approach to Contention Management
Effectively managing shared memory in a multi-threaded environment is critical in order to achieve high performance in multi-core hardware platforms. Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a scheme for managing shared memory in a concurrent programming environment. STM views shared memory in a way similar to that of a database; read and write operations are handled through transactions, with ch...
متن کاملManaging contention of software transactional memory in real-time systems
The foreseen evolution of chip architectures to higher number of, heterogeneous, cores, with non-uniform memory and non-coherent caches, brings renewed attention to the use of Software Transactional Memory (STM) as an alternative to lock-based synchronisation. However, STM relies on the possibility of aborting conflicting transactions to maintain data consistency, which impacts on the responsiv...
متن کاملImproving the Performance Competitive Ratios of Transactional Memory Contention Managers
In this work, we consider contention management in transactional memory in the context of balanced workloads which exhibit better performance potential. Balanced workloads include transactions whose number of exclusive accesses to the shared resources for writes are within a constant fraction of the total accesses (read or writes) to the shared resources. We explore the theoretical performance ...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Software Transactional Memory Implementations
KARIATH, RIYA RAJU. Performance Comparison of Software Transactional Memory Implementations. (Under the direction of Dr. Edward F Gehringer.) Software Transactional Memory (STM), an optimistic concurrency control mechanism for controlling accesses to shared memory, is a promising alternative to lockbased mutual exclusion strategies. A transaction in this context is each piece of code that execu...
