A computer processing system having memory and processing facilities for processing data with a computer program is a Hybrid Transactional Memory multiprocessor system with modules 1 . . . n coupled to a system physical memory array, I/O devices via a high speed interconnection element. A CPU is integrated as in a multi-chip module with microprocessors which contain or are coupled in the CPU module to an assist thread facility, as well as a memory controller, cache controllers, cache memory, and other components which form part of the CPU which connects to the high speed interconnect which functions under the architecture and operating system to interconnect elements of the computer system with physical memory, various 1/0, devices and the other CPUs of the system. The current hybrid transactional memory elements support for a transactional memory system that has a simple/cost effective hardware design that can deal with limited hardware resources, yet one which has a transactional facility control logic providing for a back up assist thread that can still allow transactions to reference existing libraries and allows programmers to include calls to existing software libraries inside of their transactions, and which will not make a user code use a second lock based solution.
