| - | Elastic Transactions are a complementary alternative to traditional transactions, particularly appealing when implementing search structures. Both forms of transactions can safely be combined within the same application. ε-STM implementation is faster than a state-of-the-art software transactional memory in various workloads and with a speedup of 36% on average. It also presents a speedup over lock-based solutions of 89% on average. | + | //Elastic Transactions// are a complementary alternative to traditional transactions, particularly appealing when implementing search structures.

| The simplicity of using ε-STM comes from the very few information the programmer has to provide. The programmer has to indicate whether his(her) transaction is normal or elastic and no extra-information (i.e., release action, or on-abort-action) is necessary. | The simplicity of using ε-STM comes from the very few information the programmer has to provide.
