| Abstract | Researchers in transactional memory (TM) have proposed open-nested transactions for increasing concurrency. The idea is to ignore "low-level" memory operations of the open-nested transaction when detecting conflicts for its parent transaction, and instead perform abstract concurrency control for the "high-level" operation that nested transaction represents. Unfortunately, because the TM runtime is unaware of the different levels of memory, an unconstrained use of open-nested commits can lead to anomalous program behavior. We propose ownership-aware transactional memory (OATM) which explicitly incorporates the notion of modules into the TM system, and requires that transactions and data be associated with specific transactional modules or Xmodules. When a transaction in the OATM commits, the TM system uses this information about Xmodules and commits a piece of data differently depending on whether the current Xmodule owns the data or not. We call this commit mechanism ownership-aware commit, and it is a hybrid between an open-nested and closed-nested commit. Moreover, we give a set of precise constraints on interactions and sharing of data among the Xmodules based on familiar notions of abstractions. We prove that OATM has has clean memory-level semantics and can guarantee serializability by modules, which is an adaptation of multilevel serializability from databases to TM. Finally, we prove that if transactions in the process of aborting obey restrictions on their memory footprint, the OATM is free from semantic deadlock. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
