Token Coherence for Transactional Memory

Scalable, Reliable, Power-Efficient Communication for Hardware Transactional Memory

In a hardware transactional memory system with lazy versioning and lazy conflict detection, the process of transaction commit can emerge as a bottleneck. This is especially true for a large-scale distributed memory system where multiple transactions may attempt to commit simultaneously and co-ordination is required before allowing commits to proceed in parallel. In this paper, we propose novel ...

Transaktionale replizierte Objekte für verteilte und parallele Anwendungen

Because of physical constraints CPU clock rates are no longer growing as fast as in the past. As a consequence there is a paradigm shift in computer architecture moving to multi and many core CPUs. Only concurrent (multi-threaded) programs can exploit the potential of such CPUs pushing parallel programming into mainstream. This thesis adopts the basic idea for a distributed transactional memory...

Supporting Software Transactional Memory in Distributed Systems: Protocols for Cache-Coherence, Conflict Resolution and Replication

On the Design of Contention Managers and Cache-Coherence Protocols for Distributed Transactional Memory

Brief Announcement: Relay: A Cache-Coherence Protocol for Distributed Transactional Memory

Transactional memory is an alternative programming model for managing contention in accessing shared in-memory data objects. Distributed transactional memory promises to alleviate difficulties with lock-based (distributed) synchronization and object performance bottlenecks in distributed systems. The design of the cache-coherence protocol is critical to the performance of distributed transactio...
