- Taking the Heat Off Transactions: Dynamic Selection of Pessimistic Concurrency Control
- This paper investigates feedback-directed dynamic selection between different implementations of atomic blocks. The paper initially executes atomic blocks using STM with optimistic concurrency control. At runtime, one identifies "Hot" variables that cause large numbers of transactions to abort. For these variables one selectively switches to using pessimistic concurrency control, in...

- Transactional Boosting: A Methodology for Highly-Concurrent Transactional Objects
- This paper describes a methodology for transforming a large class of highly-concurrent linearizable objects into highly-concurrent transactional objects. As long as the linearizable implementation satisfies certain regularity properties (informally, that every method has an inverse), the paper defines a simple wrapper for the linearizable implementation that guarantees that concurrent transactions...

- Four Questions for Selecting Mission-Critical Software
- The Evolving Excellence blog has a strongly-worded article against implementing SAP at a particular company with $5M in annual revenue.
