As general-purpose computing moves into the age of pervasive parallelism, programmability becomes the key hurdle limiting the effective use of available computing resources. Transactional memory promises to simplify parallel programming for application programmers. However, research in Transactional Memory is being seriously hampered by the lack of a reusable open source infrastructure. The project will develop the key pieces necessary to overcome this situation: A transactional memory library built out of highly decomposed pieces will provide reusable and replaceable parts suitable for investigating tradeoffs in software TM implementations. Standardized interfaces will allow libraries conforming to the interfaces to be used in a variety of environments. TM-aware run-time analysis tools, particularly profilers and debuggers, will provide the necessary tool support for TM implementors and application programmers to understand and improve the performance of software using transactions. Interesting benchmarks, in a variety of high-level languages, will move forward our understanding of TM performance characteristics.

随着通用计算进入普遍存在的时代，可编程性成为限制有效使用可用计算资源的关键障碍。 交易内存有望简化应用程序程序员的并行编程。但是，由于缺乏可重复使用的开源基础架构，交易记忆的研究受到了严重的阻碍。该项目将开发克服这种情况所需的关键部分：由高度分解的零件构建的交易内存库将提供可重复使用的可更换零件，适合调查软件TM实施中的权衡。 标准化的接口将允许库符合到各种环境中的接口。 TM感知的运行时分析工具，尤其是探索者和辩论者，将为TM实施者和应用程序程序员提供必要的工具支持，以使用交易来了解和提高软件的性能。 有趣的基准，以各种高级语言，将继续我们对TM性能特征的理解。
