| Popis: | Transactional memory is a promising paradigm for shared memory parallel programming model. Effective transaction scheduling is very important for transactional memory systems, and a substantial body of work has been conducted. We have proposed a transaction scheduling which considers execution path variation in transactions, and it goes well with many types of programs, but some programs still can not gain performance. In this paper, we focus on such programs and investigate the reason for low performance by analyzing conflict prediction accuracy and typical conflict patterns. Then, we propose a novel phase-aware transaction scheduling for resolving one of the harmful conflict patterns. Evaluation result shows that the phase-aware scheduling can largely improve the performance of one of the benchmark programs, and indicates its potential superiority. |
