The Transactional Memory paradigm has gained a lot of momentum in recent years. This is evidenced by the plethora of software transactional memory (STM) algorithms that can be found in the literature. Although their goal is common - to offer the transaction abstraction to the programmer - the implementations that they provide for this abstraction show a great variation among them. This variation appears as different algorithms aim at exhibiting different additional properties, such as offering specific liveness guarantees or good performance or both. In this chapter, we identify the basic characteristics of STM algorithms and the mechanisms that they are made up from. In conjunction with the design decisions, and in order to outline how they are used, we present in detail some representative STM algorithms. We also briefly discuss a lot of other STM algorithms found in the literature.
