Abstract
A transactional memory system dynamically predicts the resource requirements of hardware transactions. A processor of the transactional memory system predicts resource requirements of a first hardware transaction to be executed based on any one of a resource hint and a previous execution of a prior hardware transaction. The processor allocates resources for the first hardware transaction based on the predicted resource requirements. The processor executes the first hardware transaction. The processor saves resource usage information of the first hardware transaction for future prediction.
