This paper describes an end-to-end system implementation of a transactional memory (TM) programming model on top of the hardware transactional memory (HTM) of the Blue Gene/Q machine. The TM programming model supports most C/C++ programming constructs using a best-effort HTM and the help of a complete software stack including the compiler, the kernel, and the TM runtime. An extensive evaluation of the STAMP and the RMS-TM benchmark suites on BG/Q is the first of its kind in understanding characteristics of running TM workloads on real hardware TM. The study reveals several interesting insights on the overhead and the scalability of BG/Q HTM with respect to sequential execution, coarse-grain locking, and software TM.
