I think C++ does not cover any sort of transaction memory yet, but still TSX can somehow fit using "as if rule" into something that is governed by C++ memory model. So, what happens on successful ...

Is this correct that Hardware Lock Elision is disabled for all current CPUs due to Spectre mitigation, and any attempt to have a mutex using HLE intrinsics/instructions would result in usual mutex?...

After reading Anandtech on 'Haswell TSX' (tranactional memory barriers) I immediately wondered if CLR/JVM will be able to make use of these in C#/Java/Scala/F# for heavily parallel applications (C#...

I'm experimenting with the tsx extensions in haswell, by adapting an existing medium-sized (1000's of lines) codebase to using GCC transactional memory extensions (which indirectly are using haswel...

I found on Intel's page https://ark.intel.com/products/97123/Intel-Core-i5-7500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz that this processor support TSX-NI technology but I can't find any informatio...
