Hi all,
I would like to make some small experiments with the atomic statement and I
am looking for pointers on how to implement the atomic statement, if
hardware transactional memory is available. Intel's TSX provides
instructions to start/end an transactions, so what I am looking for is to
execute the instructions that start a transaction at the beginning of the
atomic statement and the ones the end the transaction at the end of the
statement. Anyone has an idea on how to do that?
I have been poking around in the source code and I know there is an an old
version implementing software transactional memory, but I am not sure if
there is really any benefit from working with this version.
I am aware, that an implementation based on TSX will only work for a single
locale, but I am fine with that.
