Evaluation of Blue Gene/Q hardware support for transactional memories

This paper describes an end-to-end system implementation of the transactional memory (TM) programming model on top of the hardware transactional memory (HTM) of the Blue Gene/Q (BG/Q) machine. The TM programming model supports most C/C++ programming constructs on top of a best-effort HTM with the he...
