| + | == How Good is a Transactional Memory Implementation? == | ||
| + | |||
| + | We evaluate transactional memory (TM) implementations, both on theoretical and | ||
| + | experimental ground. We ask: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * What are the inherent limitations and trade-offs of transactional memory, | ||
| + | * How expensive are some of the guarantees a TM implementation may provide, and | ||
| + | * Which algorithms/frameworks perform best. | ||
