[deuce-stm] Irrevocable transactions

[novazeta]

Dear All,

Firstly, I would just like to say thanks for producing Deuce STM for
Java. So far, I've found it very easy to run existing programs
transactionally. I am still a newbie though and was wondering whether
it was possible to get a transaction to execute irrevocably? (By
irrevocable I mean, no other transactions can run at the same time
until the irrevocable transaction has finished).

Thanks,
Khilan

Sorry Deuce currently doesn't support irrevocable but it's on our list.

You're more than welcome to hack the code and offer a solution.

Hi Guy,

I am working with Khilan on this. I have hacked Deuce a little bit to
do things like count the rollbacks. I also need irrevocable
transactions. I intend to attempt this for LSA, where is the best
place to get started in the code? I notice there are two versions of
LSA, one with contention manager. Should I be using the contention
manager one?

I would really appreciate it if you could let me know where I should
be looking to get started, and a rough overview of what needs to be
done in order to give me a fighting chance of getting it working!

In the next few weeks I am just finishing up my project involving
hybrid STMs I will send you my report and source code once I have
finished.

I've been really impressed by Deuce, it has made my life an awful lot
easier!

Thanks,

Richard

The basic version (without the contention manager) is by far simpler to modify and extend. The version with the CM is also likely to change in the next few weeks, so you'd better start with the other one.
