The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs.This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to coordinate concurrent threads. The ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation) properties of transactions provide a foundation to ensure that con- current reads and writes of shared data do not produce inconsistent or incorrect results. At a higher level, a computation wrapped in a transaction executes atomically - either it completes successfully and commits its result in its entirety or it aborts. In addition, isolation ensures the transaction pro- duces the same result as if no other transactions were executing concurrently. Although transactions are not a parallel programming panacea, they shift much of the burden of synchronizing and co- ordinating parallel computations from a programmer to a compiler, to a language runtime system, or to hardware. The challenge for the system implementers is to build an efficient transactional memory infrastructure. This book presents an overview of the state of the art in the design and implementation of transactional memory systems, as of early spring 2010.

Altera器件有EPCS系列配置器件，其实，这些配置器件就是我们平时通用的SPIFlash，据AlteraFAE描述：“EPCS器件也是选用某家公司的SPIFlash，只是中间经过Altera公司的严格测试，所以稳定性及耐用性都超过通用的SPIFlash”。就本人看来，半导体的稳定性问题绝大部分都是由本身设计缺陷造成的，而成熟的制造工艺不会造成产品的不稳定；并且，现在Altera的器件在读入配置数据发生错误时，可以重新读取SPIFlash里面的数据，所以在工艺的稳定性以及设计的可靠性双重保证下，通过选用通用的SPIFlash来减少产品的成本压力......
