Research project will aim to make parallel programming easier for the masses by developing integrated Transactional Memory systems for multi-core computers.
Barcelona, 21 May 2008 - A huge challenge facing the computing community today is how to make programming multi-cores easier. With this goal in mind, the VELOX project, titled “An Integrated Approach to Transactional Memory on Multi-Core Computers” and funded by the European Comission with € 4 millions, launched its activities with the objective of delivering seamless transactional memory (TM) systems that integrate well at all levels of the system stack at the beginning of this year.
