Software thread-level speculation: an optimistic library implementation
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
This paper reports on two main contributions. First, it introduces SpLSC: a software TLS model that trades the potential for false-positive violations for a small memory overhead and efficient implementation. Second, it presents PolyLibTLS: a library that encapsulates several lightweight models and enables their composition. In this context, we report on the template meta-programming techniques that we used to achieve performance and safety, while preserving library's modularity, extensibility and usability properties.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that the user-framework interaction is straightforward and present parallelization timing results that validate our high-level perspective.
