Abstract
- Transactional memory (TM) is being viewed by researchers as a suitable mechanism to perform shared-memory synchronization on upcoming many-core systems. This paper provides an introductory material on TM, followed by a background of important historical work on synchronization leading to current TM research. The paper reviews recent pure hardware and hardware-software TM design proposals, and finally brings out a list of interesting open problems in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
