“…Hyflow2 currently provides an implementation of the Transactional Forwarding Algorithm (TFA) [24,25], a DTM technique that uses the data-flow model (immobile transactions, mobile objects). We support the flat, closed and open nesting models [27,28], as well as distributed conditional synchronization.…”

Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM) is a recent but promising model for programming distributed systems. It aims to present programmers with a simple to use distributed concurrency control abstraction (transactions), while maintaining performance and scalability similar to distributed fine-grained locks. Any complications usually associated with such locks (e.g., distributed deadlocks) are avoided. We propose a new DTM framework for the Java Virtual Machine named Hyflow2. We implement Hyflow2 in Scala and base it on the existing ScalaSTM API soon to be included in the Scala standard library. We thus aim to create a smooth transition from multiprocessor STM programs to DTM.

“…Propõe-se aqui a linguagem DCMTJava, que estenderá a CMTJava de forma a também dar suporte a transações envolvendo objetos distribuídos. A primeira extensão será baseada no algoritmo TFA, proposto em [8]. Este algoritmo trabalha a nível de objetos e possui o diferencial de mover os objetos através dos nodos, ao invés de mover instruções de controle.…”

“…HyflowCPP has a modular architecture and provides pluggable support for various DTM policies (e.g., concurrency control, directory lookup, contention management, networking) and a simple atomic section-based DTM interface. The distributed concurrency control currently implemented in the framework is TFA [14]. TFA uses Herlihy and Sun's dataflow execution model [15] (in which objects migrate and transactions are immobile).…”

We present the first ever distributed transactional memory (DTM) framework for distributed concurrency control in C++, called HyflowCPP. HyflowCPP provides distributed atomic sections, and pluggable support for policies for concurrency control, directory lookup, contention management, and networking. While there exists other DTM frameworks, they mostly target VM-based languages (e.g., Java, Scala). Additionally, HyflowCPP provides uniquely distinguishing TM features including strong atomicity, closed and open nesting, and checkpointing. Our experimental studies revealed that HyflowCPP achieves up to 6x performance improvement over state-of-the-art DTM frameworks.
