Subject: [Gems-users] Processor binding for LogTM
For correct execution of a multithreaded benchmarks using logTM protocol, is processor binding (pset_bind) necessary ?

If yes, then why does the deque benchmark not have it ?

If no, then how is it guaranteed that a thread will be not be shuffled out of a processor while it is running under a transaction ? What is responsible for ensuring this :
  - logtm coherence protocol
  - logtm transaction manager
  - simics interface, etc..
