ABSTRACT:
In accordance with some embodiments, software transactional memory may be used for both managed and unmanaged environments. If a cache line is resident in a cache and this is not the first time that the cache line has been read since the last write, then the data may be read directly from the cache line, improving performance. Otherwise, a normal read may be utilized to read the information. Similarly, write performance can be accelerated in some instances to improve performance.
