self-tuning this parameter, I expect that a very simple

We have done similar work in the Cloud-TM project (applied
to both message batching and number of threads active per

In attach 2 papers in pdf version:<br>
- "paper_submitted.pdf" deals with optimization of the level of
parallelism in transactional memories (both centralized and
distributed)<br>
- "SASO12_paper84_PDFexpressOk.pdf" presents a mechanism for
self-tuning the batching (a.k.a. message packing) in total-order
based protocols.<br>
<br>
Diego Didona (who has already subscribed this mailing-list) will be
glad to provide more details ;)<br>
