TL;DR: This article assesses the incorporation of expert knowledge via the Delphi technique into scenario planning as a promising option, discusses possible combinations and identifies the span of design alternatives in the existing body of Delphi-based scenario studies through a systematic research review and provides recommendations on how a Delphi -based scenario study should be designed to ensure quality.

TL;DR: Measurements on a wide range of benchmarks indicate that the overheads traditionally associated with software transactional memories can be significantly reduced with the help of ASF.

TL;DR: Several new hybrid TM algorithms are presented that can execute HTM and STM transactions concurrently and can thus provide good performance over a large spectrum of workloads and are evaluated based on AMD's Advanced Synchronization Facility.

TL;DR: An overview of the VELOX TM stack and its associated challenges and contributions is presented, spanning from programming language to the hardware support, and including runtime and libraries, compilers, and application environments.

TL;DR: ParExC has --- in contrast to similar frameworks --- two noteworthy features that permit a more efficient parallelization of checks: (1) speculative variables, and (2) the ability to add checks by static instrumentation.
