摘要：Utilizing a hardware transactional approach to execute a code section byemploying pseudo-transactions, after initially utilizing software locking, is disclosed. A

method is disclosed that utilizes a software approach to locking memory to execute acode section relating to memory. The software approach employs a pseudo-transactionto determine whether a hardware approach to transactional memory to execute thethreshold would have been successful. Where the hardware approach to transactionalmemory to execute the code section satisfies a threshold based on success of at leastthe pseudo-transaction, the method subsequently utilizes the hardware approach toexecute the code section. The hardware approach may include starting a transactioninclusive of the code section, conditionally executing the transaction, and, upon

successfully completing the transaction, committing execution of the transaction to thememory to which the code section relates.
