Is Transactional Memory an Oxymoron?

Summary: Taxonomy of transactional memory implementations (software, hardware, hybrids) with Wisconsin LogTM; examines write buffering. TM vs database transactions (concurrency vs durability; memory–disk gap) and cross-fertilization opportunities for data management. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
