The release of hardware transactional memory (HTM) in commodity CPUs has major implications on the design and implementation of main-memory databases, especially on the architecture of highperformance lock-free indexing methods at the core of several of these systems. This paper studies the interplay of HTM and lockfree indexing methods. First, we evaluate whether HTM will obviate the need for ...

Signi cant performance advantages can be realized by implementing a database system on a shared memory multiprocessor. An e cient implementation of a lock manager is a prerequisite for e cient transaction processing in multiprocessor database systems. To this end, we advocate adopting an autonomous locking strategy. In autonomous locking, transactions acquire and release locks via operations on...
