Toward high performance nonblocking software transactional memory

摘要

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to PPoPP'08: The 13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming. Since its inception (as PPEALS) in 1988, PPoPP has provided a leading forum for work in all aspects of parallelism and concurrency, including theoretical foundations, programming models, algorithms, applications, and systems software. Never in the past 20 years, however, has the conference been as broadly relevant as it is today: with the move to ubiquitous multicore processors and heterogeneous systems-on-chip now well underway, parallelism has moved onto the critical path of almost every development effort.
