Concurrent application design and implementation is more important than ever in today's multi-core processor world. Transactional Memory (TM) Concurrent application design and implementation is more important than ever in today's multi-core processor world. Transactional Memory (TM). Each has its own particular advantages and disadvantages. However, these techniques each need some extra information to `glue' the non-transactional operation into a transactional context. At the most general level, non-transactional code must be decorated in such a way that the TM run-time can determine how those non-transactional operations commute with one another, and how to `undo' the non-transactional operations in case the run-time …
