About This Project

Unbounded Transactional Memory is a hardware transactional memory scheme that ensures atomicity of a defined group of memory operations. Compared to lock-based approaches, UTM simplifies the programming interface and avoids common execution hazards such as deadlock and convoying. Unlike previous hardware transactional models, this approach does not limit transaction size or require a special transactional cache.
