My apologies for side-tracking, but does anybody have performance numbers for STM? I have an application waiting to be written using STM, boldly parallelizing where no man has parallelized before, but if it doesn't make it faster,
Faster than what?
Faster than an equivalent non-concurrent program. It'd also be nice if performance was comparable lock-based implementation.
Are you considering using STM just to make otherwise pure code run in parallel on multiple cores?
No, I have a complex structure that must be updated in non-predictable ways. That's what STM is for, no? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
