Abstract
A technique for performing a plurality of operations in a shared memory system having a plurality of addresses is disclosed. The technique includes entering into a speculative mode, speculatively performing each of the plurality of operations on addresses in the shared memory system, marking addresses in the shared memory system that have been operated on speculatively as being in a speculative state, and exiting the speculative mode, wherein exiting the speculative mode includes marking the addresses in the shared memory system that have been operated on as being in a non-speculative state.
