Abstract

Transactions are back in the spotlight! They are emerging in concurrent programming
languages under the name of transactional memory (TM). Their new role? Concurrency control
on new multi-core processors. From afar they look the same as good ol’ database transactions.
But are they really?
In this position paper, we reflect about the distinguishing features of these memory trans-
actions with respect to their database cousins.
