Platform independence is a term that describes a technology (usually a ProgrammingLanguage or a FrameWork) that you can use to implement things on one machine and use them on another machine without (or with minimal) changes. There are two basic types of PlatformIndependence : Binary Platform Independence Languages like Java...
System and Method for Utilizing Available Best Effort Hardware Mechanisms for Supporting Transactional Memory
ActiveUS20090282386A1Reduce difficultyReduce overheadSpecific program execution arrangementsMemory systemsTransactional memoryApplication software
Systems and methods for managing divergence of best effort transactional support mechanisms in various transactional memory implementations using a portable transaction interface are described. This interface may be implemented by various combinations of best effort hardware features, including none at all. Because the features offered by this interface may be best effort, a default (e.g., software) implementation may always be possible without the need for special hardware support. Software may be written to the interface, and may be executable on a variety of platforms, taking advantage of best effort hardware features included on each one, while not depending on any particular mechanism. Multiple implementations of each operation defined by the interface may be included in one or more portable transaction interface libraries. Systems and / or application software may be written as platform-independent and / or portable, and may call functions of these libraries to implement the operations for a targeted execution environment.
