go on. I'm not a hardware guy, but i'm pretty interested in STM/HTM. From what I understand, its harder than it appears considering Sun scrapped The Rock after its HTM speedups weren't as good as they were supposed to be. Is your design pure HTM, or a hybrid approach? Or hardware support for STM? (Which seems more doable). Cliff Click of Azul fame has some interesting comments on how HTM didn't really work as a 'dusty deck' solution for replacing locks, which is why I assumed its support and not a pure HTM implementation. What happens if you overflow the 'rollback memory/cache' (or whatever you kids are calling it these days?)
