Change Log

Nov 2019

In this update, we fixed several bugs and improved performance.

A big thank you to the following folks that helped to make PMwCAS even better.

Wojciech Golab and his students from the University of Waterloo found a linearizability bug, which may cause spurious abort in some cases.
Ziqi Wang from Carnegie Mellon University found an optimization that can improve the PMwCAS by reducing persistent memory flushes.
Shaonan Ma from Tsinghua University located a bug in PMDK integration that a crash during allocation may cause a memory leak.
Ao LI from the University of Toronto fixed an incorrect inline which caused the code failed to build with gcc.

June 2019

Added PMDK backend, bug fixes, and general improvements on code base.

Note that the PMDK integration assumes a Linux environment and might not work well on Windows machines.
