A Stable Transactional Memory for Building Robust Object Oriented Programs

The purpose of the Fault Tolerant Multiprocessor project (FTM) is to design a fault tolerant machine based on a Stable Transactional Memory (STM). The STM allows manipulation of stable objects within atomic transactions. The building of the operating system has led us to define a C++ interface to the STM which provides stable classes. Robust object oriented programs which resist processor failures can be written in C++ using stable objects and transactions.
