Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM threads of an application communicate and synchronize their actions via in-memory transactions. Each transaction can perform any number of operations on shared data and then either commit or abort. When the transaction commits the effects of all its operations become immediately visible to other transactions when it aborts however those effects are entirely discarded. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously at some single and unique point in time. Yet a TM runs transactions concurrently to leverage the parallelism offered by modern processors. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical foundations for transactional memory. This includes defining a model of a TM as well as answering precisely when a TM implementation is correct what kind of properties it can ensure what are the power and limitations of a TM and what inherent trade-offs are involved in designing a TM algorithm. While the focus of this book is on the fundamental principles its goal is to capture the common intuition behind the semantics of TMs and the properties of existing TM implementations.
