+ <h2>Abstract:</h2>
+ <blockquote>
+ We investigate to which extent data partitioning can help improve the performance of
+ software transactional memory (STM). Our main idea is that the access patterns of the
+ various data structures of an application might be sufficiently different so that it would
+ be beneficial to tune the behavior of the STM for individual data partitions. We evaluate
+ our approach using standard transactional memory benchmarks. We show that these
+ applications contain partitions with different characteristics and, despite the runtime
+ overhead introduced by partition tracking and dynamic tuning, that partitioning provides
+ significant performance improvements.
