An Integrated Approach to Transactional Memory on Multi and Many-core Computers

La technologie multicoeurs associe deux processeurs ou plus sur une même puce de silicium. Elle permet à un ordinateur de traiter en même temps des tâches séparées, ce qui améliore ses performances. Cependant, pour tirer pleinement parti de cette puissance supérieure de calcul, il faut adapter le logiciel à cette technologie.

Computers are part of our everyday lives. To keep up with the demand for speed, computer manufacturers the world over are looking for ways to make their devices more effective.
One development is the multicore processor, which uses several processors to carry out tasks simultaneously.

Multicore technology, which combines two or more processor cores on a single silicon chip, allows computers handle separate tasks at the same time, thereby increasing their performance. To take full advantage of this increased computing power, software must be written that is adapted to the multicore technology. With EUR 4 million in funding from the European Commission, the VELOX (An Integrated Approach to Transactional Memory on Multi-Core Computers project aims to develop such a software.

The huge challenge facing the computing community today is how to make programming multi-cores easier. With this in mind, the VELOX project, “An Integrated Approach to Transactional Memory on Multi-Core Computers” funded by the European Comission with € 4m, launched 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.

The VELOX project is a three-year European-led research effort to develop seamless transactional memory (TM) systems for multi-core computers that integrate well at all levels of the system stack. The project is backed by the VELOX consortium, coordinated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, that unites nine research and systems integration organizations.
