ABSTRACT

In recent years, multiprocessors have emerged as the architecture of choice at the chip level to help ride Moore's law and continue exploiting the exponential growth in transistors while maintaining acceptable power consumption levels and complexity. Unfortunately, parallel software has not made it to the mainstream, making technologies to help facilitate parallel software development and programming for commodity chips critical to the sustained growth in IT infrastructure and industry. Transactional programming is emerging as a promising approach to help mitigate many of the difficulties associated with conventional synchronization and coordination mechanisms in parallel programs.
