Re: [Gems-users] transactional memory and Opal

[Luke Yen <lyen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  The version of Opal for the GEMs release does not support running TM 
programs.
  However with alot of non-trivial work it can be made to run TM programs. 
Most of the complexity comes in how to track transactional loads/stores 
for correct conflict detection, and how to handle stalls & aborts.
