Method for Enhancing the Performance of Hardware Transactions in Software

Hybrid transaction memory systems and accompanying methods. A transaction to be executed is received, and an initial attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware path. Upon a failure to successfully execute the transaction in the hardware path, an attempt is made to execute the transaction in a hardware-software path. The hardware-software path includes a software path and at least one hardware transaction.
