Pessimistic Software Lock-Elision

Read-write locks are one of the most prevalent lock forms in concurrent applications because they allow read accesses to locked code to proceed in parallel. However, they do not offer any parallelism between reads and writes. This paper introduces pessimistic lock-elision (PLE), a new approach for nonspeculatively replacing read-write locks with pessimistic (i.e. non-aborting) software transact...

Elision Based Text Zooming

Scrolling through text documents is a cumbersome and ineffective means of getting context and overview. I present a superior technique that augments scrolling by using elision to simulate zooming. This allows smooth, rapid transitions between overview and detail and effectively supports the task of recovering lost context when reading or navigating through a document. I describe an implementati...

Amalgamated Lock-Elision

Hardware lock-elision (HLE) introduces concurrency into legacy lockbased code by optimistically executing critical sections in a fast-path as hardware transactions. Its main limitation is that in case of repeated aborts, it reverts to a fallback-path that acquires a serial lock. This fallback-path lacks hardwaresoftware concurrency, because all fast-path hardware transactions abort and wait for...

Reduced Hardware Lock Elision

Hardware lock elision (HLE) concurrently executes lock critical sections as hardware transactions, but fallbacks to the original sequential lock fallback path when some hardware transaction fails. Recent software-assisted lock-removal based schemes provide a better concurrency by sacrificing safety (opacity). Hardware transactions can execute at the same time with the lock fallback path as long...
