Abstract: Parallel programs are key to exploiting the performance of modern computers, but traditional facilities for synchronizing threads of execution are notoriously difficult to use correctly, especially for problems with a non-trivial structure. Software transactional memory is a different approach to managing the complexity of interacting threads. By eliminating locking, many of the complexities of concurrency is eliminated, and the resulting programs are composable, and thus simplifies refactoring and other modifications. Here, we investigate STM in the context of genome assembly, and demonstrate that a program using STM is able to successfully parallelize the genome scaffolding process with a near linear speedup.
