ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an e#cient object­based implementa­
tion of non­blocking software transactions. We use ideas
from software distributed shared memory to e#ciently im­
plement transactions with little overhead for non­transactional
code. Rather than emulating a flat transactional memory,
our scheme is object­based, which allows compiler optimiza­
