The approach is based on a simple but effective programming model separating transactions from non-transactional operation. It prevents the application programmer from errors but does not force the software transactional memory library to observe non-transactional access and thereby preserves modularity of the software. A prototypical toolchain for validation and source code instrumentation was implemented as a proof of concept. © Holger Machens and Volker Turau.enPrivatizationPublicationSoftware transactional memoryInformatikTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.4230/OASIcs.KiVS.2011.97
