The Teleportation Design Pattern for Hardware Transactional Memory

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-OPODIS-2017-10.pdf (1 MB)


Abstract

We identify a design pattern for concurrent data structures, called teleportation, that uses best- effort hardware transactional memory to speed up certain kinds of legacy concurrent data struc- tures. Teleportation unifies and explains several existing data structure designs, and it serves as the basis for novel approaches to reducing the memory traffic associated with fine-grained locking, and with hazard pointer management for memory reclamation.
