I wish this were more useful. The real sticking point for me is that you can run out of transaction contexts - which means you have to have a full software implementation as backup.

the only case I can think of where I would actually use the thing is if I already had an STM runtime and I wanted to cut down some of the constant time overheads.

the other problematic aspect s that transaction scheduler policy is pretty important for contended performance and as part of the broader system design. in this case you have to live with whatever intel gives you
