Fault tolerant Lu factorization in transactional memory system

With the popularization of multi-core processors, transaction memory, as a concurrent control mechanism with easy programing and high scalability, has attracted more and more attention. As a result, the reliability problems of transactional memory become a concerning issue. This paper addresses a transactional implementation of the Lu benchmark of SPLASH-2, and proposes a fault-tolerant Lu algorithm for this transactionalize Lu algorithm. The fault-tolerant Lu uses the data-versioning mechanism of the transactional memory system, detects errors based on transactions and recovers the error by rolling back the error transaction. The experiments show that the fault-tolerant Lu can get a better fault tolerance effect under a smaller cost.
