Transactional Memory and Tech Hype Waves

Read Original

The article discusses Transactional Memory, specifically Intel's Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX), explaining how it replaces deadlocks with livelocks using a database transaction analogy. It delves into the speculative execution nature of transactions and connects it to side-channel attacks like Spectre and Meltdown, touching on Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) and Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR).
