Abstract
Efficiency with respect to traditional techniques is a key issue facing designers of software transactional synchronization mechanisms. Meta-transactional synchronization allows integration of transactional support into an object-oriented programming language, such as the Java language through the existing synchronization structure of the JVM. Meta-transactional synchronization provides source-level transactional operations that co-exist with synchronized operations. An implementation of a shared object in an object-oriented programming language tracks concurrently executing transactions attempting to access the shared object with at least one header word of the shared object.
