Methods and Systems for Enhancing Hardware Transactions Using Hardware Transactions in Software Slow-Path

摘要

Hybrid transaction memory systems and accompanying methods. A transaction to be executed is received, and an initial attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware path. Upon a failure to successfully execute the transaction in the hardware path, an attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware-software path. The hardware-software path includes a software path and at least one hardware transaction.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the system to:
receive a transaction to be executed;initially attempt to execute the transaction in a hardware path; andupon a failure to successfully execute the transaction in the hardware path, attempt to execute the transaction in a hardware-software path, wherein the hardware-software path comprises a software path and at least one hardware transaction.
