Although it’s been a while, I thought I’d upload my Bachelor’s Thesis for others to read: Scalable Database Concurrency Control using Transactional Memory.pdf.
The work consists of two parts:
Part 1 analyzes the constraints of Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) and identifies data structures that profit most of this technique.
Part 2 attempts different implementations of HTM in MySQL’s InnoDB storage component and evaluates the results.
