Discuss the impact of hardware support for transactional memory on concurrency control in modern computer architectures.
Hardware support for transactional memory (TM) is a term used to describe specialized hardware components and instructions built into computer architectures to make it easier to create and run transactional memory systems effectively.
Hardware support for TM tries to speed up this process by enabling several threads or processes to access shared data concurrently while maintaining data consistency and integrity.
To improve concurrency control and make concurrent programming easier, it has capabilities including hardware transactional memory (HTM) instructions, conflict detection and resolution systems, and transactional state management.
