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.
