What you are thinking about is to start from the naturally multicore model of separate address spaces, and add some amount of shared memory. You would use STM to handle the result. It is the opposite of what I'm thinking about, which is to start with a non-multithread, non-tasklet-based program and add multicore capability to it. I would be using STM to "create" multicore capability, whereas you would be using it to "create" shared memory. I am more interested in the first approach than the second because I think it is closer to what untrained programmers start with, but both approaches are potentially valid. Russel: STM is a powerful tool that makes sense of shared memory in multicore situations. I fail to understand why you are looking at it in the absence of shared memory...
