Thesis: Debugging and Profiling of Transactional Programs

Transactional memory (TM) has become increasingly popular in recent years as a promising programming paradigm for writing correct and scalable concurrent programs. Despite its popularity, there has been very little work on how to debug and profile transactional programs.
This dissertation addresses this situation by exploring the debugging and profiling needs of transactional programs, explaining how the tools should change to support these needs, and implementing preliminary infrastructure to support this change.
