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