Abstract
Object-based conflict detection is described in the context of software transactional memory. In one example, a pointer is received for a block of instructions, the block of instructions having allocated objects. The lower bits of the pointer are masked if the pointer is in a small object space to obtain a block header for the block, and a size of the allocated objects is determined using the block header.
