Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for increasing large region transaction throughput by making informed determinations whether to abort a thread from a first core or a thread from a second core when a conflict is detected between the threads. Such a system and method allow resolution of conflicts between a first thread and a second thread. In certain embodiments, the system and method allow a requester to detect a conflict under specific circumstances and make an intelligent decision whether to abort the first thread, enter a wait state to give the first thread an opportunity to complete execution or, if possible, abort the second thread.
