COORDINATING ACCESS TO MEMORY LOCATIONS FOR HARDWARE TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY TRANSACTIONS AND SOFTWARE TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY TRANSACTIONS

摘要

Provided is a method, system, and program for coordinating access to memory locations for hardware transactional memory transactions and software transactional memory transactions. A hardware transaction executing in hardware transactional memory initiates a request to access a memory location. A fault is returned to the hardware transaction request in response to an operation by one software transaction executing in a software transactional memory.
