Hi all, A negative update regarding HTM: from some sources, we can do the educated guess that Intel's Haswell processor, released in 2013, will have HTM --- at the level of the processor's L1 cache. That means that just a few kilobytes of memory can be part of a transaction's read/write set. Moreover there is no mecanism to tell the cpu "this read/write needs not be tracked", so it has to record everything in these few kilobytes. So, bad news: it's very unlikely to be of any use at all for the large-scale transactions I'm playing with.
A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
