This paper explores different aspects of transactional memory to identify general patterns and analyze what direction software transactional memory research may be headed. Hybrid hardware-accelerated transactional memory is shown as a better long-term solution than purely software or hardware transactional memory, based on performance and the fundamental issue of software complexity. The appendix provides a chronologically ordered summary of significant transactional memory implementations and transactional memory specific benchmarks. / text
