TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY OPERATIONS WITH READ-ONLY ATOMICITY

摘要

Execution of a transaction mode setting instruction causes a computer processor to be in an atomic read-only mode ignoring conflicts to certain write-sets of a transaction during transactional execution. Read-set conflicts may still cause a transactional abort. Absent any aborting, the transaction's execution may complete, by committing transactional stores to memory and updating architecture states.
