MetaTM/TxLinux:
Transactional Memory for an Operating System(pdf) byHany E. Ramadan, Christopher J. Rossbach, Donald E. Porter, Owen
S. Hofmann, Aditya Bhandari, and Emmett Witchel, University of Texas at
Austin
Hardware transactional memory can reduce synchronization complexity while
retaining high performance. MetaTM models changes to the x86 architecture to
support transactional memory for user processes and the operating system.
TxLinux is an operating system that uses transactional memory to facilitate
synchronization in a large, complicated code base, where the burdens of current
lock-based approaches are most evident.
