Abstract

A Shared-Memory Multi-Processor Call Control (SMMPCC) is described when the executing transactions contend for access to shared memory addresses. First, memory contention is characterized, then the system throughput is modelled analytically. Based on the model, bounds for the throughput are found. Also shown are how the throughput depends on the number of processors, contention level and on how far into transaction execution a contention on memory access happens.
