A Generic Framework for Replicated Software Transactional Memories
Nuno A. Carvalho, Paolo Romano, Luı́s Rodrigues · 2011
Software Transactional Memory (STM) has emerged a powerful abstraction for managing access to shared data. Therefore, it is no surprise that a handful of different STM replication schemes have been proposed in the last recent years. In this context, we propose an architecture that facilitates the integration and execution of multiple replication techniques in a single, coherent, middleware infrastructure. This paves the way towards the development of autonomic mechanisms, able to select in runtime the most appropriate replication technique for the workload at hand.
