摘要:
A dynamic race detection system is provided that detects race conditions in code that executes concurrently in a computer system. The dynamic race detection system uses a modified software transactional memory (STM) system to detect race conditions. A compiler converts portions of the code that are not configured to operate with the STM system into pseudo STM code that operates with the STM system. The dynamic race detection system detects race conditions in response to either a pseudo STM transaction in the pseudo STM code failing to validate when executed or an actual STM transaction failing to validate when executed because of conflict with a concurrent pseudo STM transaction.

A compiler is provided that determines when the use of software transactional memory (STM) primitives may be optimized with respect to a set of collectively dominating STM primitives. The compiler analysis coordinates the use of variables containing possible shadow copy pointers to allow the analysis to be performed for both direct write and buffered write STM systems. The coordination of the variables containing the possible shadow copy pointers ensures that the results of STM primitives are properly reused. The compiler analysis identifies memory accesses where STM primitives may be eliminated, combined, or substituted for lower overhead STM primitives.

A software transactional memory system is provided that generates and stores compressed transactional locks in a portion of object headers. The software transactional memory system allocates preferred write log memory with a predefined size of memory that corresponds to a number of bits in the compressed transactional locks. The compressed transactional locks identify write log entries in corresponding write logs in the preferred write log memory. If the preferred write log memory becomes full, additional write log memory is allocated for write log entries and subsequent transactional locks are stored uncompressed in an auxiliary memory. A pointer that may be used to locate the uncompressed transactional lock is stored in the header. If an object header with a compressed transactional lock is needed for another use, the compressed transactional lock is uncompressed and stored in the auxiliary memory. A pointer that may be used to locate the uncompressed transactional lock is stored in the header.

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for transforming a sequential loop into a parallel loop for use with a transactional memory system. A transactional memory system is provided. A first section of code containing an original sequential loop is transformed into a second section of code containing a parallel loop that uses transactions to preserve an original input to output mapping. For example, the original sequential loop can be transformed into a parallel loop by taking each iteration of the original sequential loop and generating a separate transaction that follows a pre-determined commit order process. At least some of the separate transactions are executed in different threads. When an unhandled exception is detected that occurs in a particular transaction while the parallel loop is executing, state modifications made by the particular transaction and predecessor transactions are committed, and state modifications made by successor transactions are discarded.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transforming large messages using a scalable process. This scalable process decomposes the message into nodes and node values. Navigation between related tree node tree is carried out based upon the decomposed message. Following decomposition a first node to be transformed is retrieved. Following retrieval of the first node a second node to be transformed is requested. The process obtains the node from the node files. This process repeats until the message is transformed.

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for transforming a sequential loop into a parallel loop for use with a transactional memory system. Open ended and/or closed ended sequential loops can be transformed to parallel loops. For example, a section of code containing an original sequential loop is analyzed to determine a fixed number of iterations for the original sequential loop. The original sequential loop is transformed into a parallel loop that can generate transactions in an amount up to the fixed number of iterations. As another example, an open ended sequential loop can be transformed into a parallel loop that generates a separate transaction containing a respective work item for each iteration of a speculation pipeline. The parallel loop is then executed using the transactional memory system, with at least some of the separate transactions being executed on different threads.
摘要:
Hardware assisted transactional memory system with open nested transactions. Embodiments include a system whereby hardware acceleration of transactions can be accomplished by implementing open nested transaction in hardware which respect software locks such that a top level transaction can be implemented in software, and thus not be limited by hardware constraints typical when using hardware transactional memory systems.
