Abstract:
Energy efficiency is a pressing issue, especially in large data centers:
- non-negligible management cost
- enhancement of hardware fault probability
- significant environmental footprint
Can Software Transactional Memory (STM) provide benefits on both power saving and the overall applications’ execution performance? Encapsulating shared-data accesses within transactions gives the freedom to the STM middleware to both ensure consistency and reduce the actual data contention, the latter having been shown to affect the overall power needed to complete the application’s execution.
