Principles of Transactional Memory (Synthesis Lectures on Distributed Computing Theory)

Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. Get Principles of Transactional Memory computer books for free.
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. Check Principles of Transactional Memory our best computer books for 2013. All books are available in pdf format and downloadable from rapidshare, 4shared, and mediafire.
