Abstract
A processor is described comprising memory access conflict detection circuitry to identify a conflict pertaining to a transaction being executed by a thread that believes it has locked information within a memory. The processor also includes logging circuitry to construct and report out a packet if the memory access conflict detection circuitry identifies a conflict that causes the transaction to be aborted.
