    Linearizability of Persistent Memory Objects Under a Full-System-Crash Failure Model

    This paper provides a theoretical and practical framework for crash-resilient data structures on a machine with persistent (nonvolatile) memory but transient registers and cache. In contrast to certain prior w...

    Transactions as the Foundation of a Memory Consistency Model

    We argue that traditional synchronization objects, such as locks, conditions, and atomic/volatile variables, should be defined in terms of transactions, rather than the other way around. A traditional critical se...
