Software transactional memory for dynamic-sized data structures

by Maurice Herlihy, Victor Luchangco, Mark Moir, William N. Scherer III - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND ACM SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING , 2003
"... We propose a new form of software transactional memory (STM) designed to support dynamic-sized data structures, and we describe a novel non-blocking implementation. The non-blocking property we consider is obstruction-freedom. Obstruction-freedom is weaker than lock-freedom; as a result, it admits s ..."

On obstruction-free transactions

by Rachid Guerraoui, Michał Kapałka , 2008
"... This paper studies obstruction-free software transactional memory systems (OFTMs). These systems are appealing, for they combine the atomicity property of transactions with a liveness property that ensures the commitment of every transaction that eventually encounters no contention. We precisely def ..."

Choices, values and frames.

by Daniel Kahneman - American Psychologist, , 1984
"... Making decisions is like speaking prose-people do it all the time, knowingly or unknowingly. It is hardly surprising, then, that the topic of decision making is shared by many disciplines, from mathematics and statistics, through economics and political science, to sociology and psychology. The stu ..."

. The study of decisions addresses both normative and descriptive questions. The normative analysis is concerned with the nature of rationality and the logic of decision making. The descriptive analysis, in contrast, is concerned with people's beliefs and preferences as they are, not as they should be

Transactive memory in close relationships

by Daniel M. Wegner, Paula Raymond, Ralph Erber - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1991
"... Memory performance of 118 individuals who had been in close dating relationships for at least 3 months was studied. For a memory task ostensibly to be performed by pairs, some Ss were paired with their partners and some were paired with an opposite-sex partner from another couple. For some pairs a m ..."

memory structure was assigned (e.g., 1 partner should remember food items, another should remember history items, etc.), whereas for others no structure was mentioned. Pairs studied together without communication, and recall was tested in individuals. Memory performance of the natural pairs was better

Dividing transactional memories by zero

by Aleksandar Dragojević, Rachid Guerraoui, Michał Kapałka - In TRANSACT , 2008
"... Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for writing concurrent programs. So far, most STM approaches have been experimentally evaluated with small-scale µbenchmarks. In this paper, we present several surprising results from implementing and experimenting with STMBench7 – a large ..."

-based or obstruction-free implementation, as typically highlighted. Implementation of STMBench7 with various STMs also revealed several programming related issues such as the lack of support for external libraries and only partial support for object oriented features. These issues prove to be a major limitation when

What makes investors trade?,

by Mark Grinblatt , Matti Keloharju - Journal of Finance , 2001
"... ABSTRACT What Makes Investors Trade? A unique data set allows us to monitor the buys, sells, and holds of individuals and institutions in the Finnish stock market on a daily basis. With this data set, we employ Logit regressions to identify the determinants of buying and selling activity over a two ..."

that there should be no trade at all. Empirical research by Odean (1999) also shows that the trades of many investors not only fail to cover transaction costs, but tend to lose money before transaction costs. To address the puzzle of why so much trading occurs, it would be useful to understand what motivates trades

Lowering the overhead of nonblocking software transactional memory

by Virendra J. Marathe, Michael F. Spear, Christopher Heriot, Athul Acharya, David Eisenstat, William N. Scherer III, Michael L. Scott - DEPT. OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, UNIV. OF ROCHESTER , 2006
"... Recent years have seen the development of several different systems for software transactional memory (STM). Most either employ locks in the underlying implementation or depend on thread-safe general-purpose garbage collection to collect stale data and metadata. We consider the design of low-overhea ..."

Our design eliminates dynamic allocation of transactional metadata and co-locates data that are separate in other systems, thereby reducing the expected number of cache misses on the common-case code path, while preserving

Market Valuation and Merger Waves

by Matthew Rhodes-kropf, S. Viswanathan, Pete Kyle, Augustin L, Costis Maglaras, Jan Mahrt-smith, Mit Mehta, Michael Riordan, David T. Robinson, Tano Santos - Journal of Finance , 2004
"... Does valuation affect mergers? Data suggest that periods of stock merger activity are correlated with high market valuations. The naïve explanation that overvalued bidders wish to use stock is incomplete because targets should not be eager to accept stock. However, we show that potential market valu ..."
