Abstract

Software Transactional Memory (STM) systems have garnered considerable interest of late due to the recent architectural trend that has led to the pervasive adoption of multi-core CPUs. STMs represent an attractive solution to spare programmers from the pitfalls of conventional explicit lock-based thread synchronization, leveraging on concurrency-control concepts used for decades by the database community to simplify the mainstream parallel programming [1].
