API for Haswells TSX

[roberto_c_1]

hello,

i have just begun my research focus with HTM, primarily focusing on RTM(restricted transaction memory). is there any APIs for RTM? I have looked on the internet but only the basic operands exist for RTM, such as xbegin, xend, xabort, xtest.

I want to be able to access the shared memories with HTM but i can not find any library files for it. 

Can you please point me in the right direction, thanks for your support.

Hi Roberto,

you can also look in the "Lock implementations with Intel TSX support" section at www.intel.com/software/tsx

It contains also other pointers to TSX material that might be of your interest.

Best regards,

Roman
