Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In computer science, software transactional memory (STM) is a concurrency control mechanism analogous to database transactions for controlling access to shared memory. It is an alternative to lock-based synchronization. A transaction in this context is a piece of code consisting a series of reads and writes to shared memory. STM system ensures read and write logically occur at a single instant of time.
