Abstract
Parallel programming (PP) used to be an area once confined to scientific and high-performance computing applications. However, with the proliferation of multicore processors, parallel programming has definitely become a mainstream concern. Transactional Memories (TMs) answer the need to find a better programming model for PP, capable of boosting developers´ productivity and allowing ordinary programmers to unleash the power of parallel and distributed architectures avoiding the pitfalls of manual, lock based synchronization.
