The Multiprog 2013 website is now available at http://multiprog.ac.upc.edu/. Please consider submitting your work on Transactional Memory to the workshop. The theme of the workshop is hardware and software support for improving programmability on multi-core architectures and is a good fit for TM-related research.

The VELOX Stack was once again featured at a TM-star-studded event, the Annual EuroTM (COST Action) Plenary Meetings held in Paris, France ( http://www.eurotm.org/1st-plenary-meeting-in-paris/program). VELOX Team member Patrick Marlier of the University of Neuchâtel presented the VELOX Stack in its entirety while Pascal Felber (also of Neuchâtel) spoke about the impact of the project on the future of TM. Osman Unsal of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center discussed VELOX FPGA achievements, and Guy Korland of Tel Aviv University talked about his Java contributions to the stack.

CACM publishes informed rebuttal: "Why STM Can Be More than a Research Toy"
01/04/2011
Communications of the ACM is publishing this coming month the article "Why STM Can Be More than a Research Toy" by A. Dragojevic, P. Felber, V. Gramoli and R. Guerraoui. This article demonstrates that STM finally wins its spurs by outperforming sequential applications with only four CPU cores. The publication responds to a paper invited about two years ago in the same venuethat suggested the confinement of STM to a research toy by questioning its ability to leverage multicore architectures.
