STMX is a high-performance implementation of composable Transactional Memory (TM) for Common Lisp. TM is a concurrency control mechanism aimed at making concurrent programming easier to write and understand. Instead of traditional lock-based programming, one programs with atomic memory transactions, which can be composed together to make larger atomic memory transactions.
A memory transaction gets committed if it returns normally, while it gets rolled back if it signals an error (and the error is propagated to the caller).
Finally, memory transactions can safely run in parallel in different threads, are re-executed from the beginning in case of conflicts or if consistent reads cannot be guaranteed, and their effects are not visible from other threads until they commit.
Memory transactions give freedom from deadlocks, are immune to thread-safety bugs and race conditions, provide automatic roll-back on failure, and aim at resolving the tension between granularity and concurrency.
Fixed STMX for internal changes in SBCL 2.0.0 and SBCL 2.0.2. Updated list of Intel CPUs supporting memory transactions in hardware (Intel TSX) - see below.
Version 2.0.1 released. It adds support for transactional structs in addition to transactional CLOS objects, and a faster, struct-based implementation of transactional CONS cells and lists, including several list-manipulating functions - see util/tcons.lisp and util/tlist.lisp
Unluckily, the hardware bug that prompted Intel to disable hardware transactional memory (TSX) in August 2014 is still there, and very few new models are available without the bug. So for the moment STMX will be software-only on many CPUs.
See the file NEWS.md
An introduction is available to explain more in detail what STMX is, what it is not, and how it is implemented.
For background information, Composable Memory Transactions is a very good - though a bit technical - explanation of memory transactions and how they are used and combined. For the interested reader, it also goes in deep detail on how to actually implement them.
STMX is currently tested on the following Common Lisp implementations:
CLISP lacks multi-threading, and its builtin ASDF must be manually upgraded to ASDF3 to load STMX.
CMUCL must be started with the command line options "-fpu" "x87" to run STMX reliably, see doc/supported-systems.md.
Version 20f and later no longer support the command line options "-fpu" "x87" and are not supported by STMX, see Unsupported systems below.
There are known issues running STMX on ECL, see Github issues
ECL versions 16.0.0 and 16.1.2 run STMX reliably enough for lightweight use, but sometimes still hang in test suite.
STMX will probably work on several other Common Lisp implementations as long as they support log4cl, closer-mop, bordeaux-threads and trivial-garbage, but the author gives no guarantees.
STMX is available from Quicklisp. The simplest way to obtain it is to first install Quicklisp then run these commands from REPL:
CL-USER> (ql:quickload "stmx")
;; lots of output...
CL-USER> (use-package :stmx)
If all goes well, this will automatically download and install the stable branch of STMX and its dependencies:
log4clcloser-mopbordeaux-threadstrivial-garbageIn case you want to use the "latest and greatest" version directly from the author, in order to get the newest features - most notably hardware memory transactions - improvements, bug fixes, and occasionally new bugs, you need to download it into your Quicklisp local-projects folder. Open a shell and run the commands:
$ cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects
$ git clone git://github.com/cosmos72/stmx.git
then proceed as before - load a REPL and run:
CL-USER> (ql:quickload "stmx")
;; lots of output...
CL-USER> (use-package :stmx)
If all goes well, it will automatically load STMX and its dependencies.
Note: unless you know what you are doing, do not try to load different STMX versions one after the other from the same REPL - strange things may happen.
All the stable versions of STMX, present and past, are also available from Sourceforge, including version 1.9.0.
In case you get errors:
check that Quicklisp is installed correctly, for example by executing at REPL:
CL-USER> (ql:quickload "closer-mop")
if you tried to download the stable version from Quicklisp, check that your quicklisp is updated and knows about STMX:
CL-USER> (ql:system-apropos "stmx")
should print something like
#<SYSTEM stmx / stmx-stable-7e68763b-git / quicklisp 2013-06-15>
#<SYSTEM stmx.test / stmx-stable-7e68763b-git / quicklisp 2013-06-15>
If it doesn't, you need to update Quicklisp as described here - search for "To get updated software" in the page.
if you tried to download the latest version from GIT,
check that you downloaded STMX creating an stmx/ folder inside
your Quicklisp local-projects folder, usually ~/quicklisp/local-projects
After loading STMX for the first time, it is recommended to run the test suite to check that everything works as expected. From the REPL, run:
CL-USER> (ql:quickload "stmx.test")
;; lots of output...
CL-USER> (fiveam:run! 'stmx.test:suite)
;; even more output...
Did 7133 checks.
Pass: 7133 (100%)
Skip: 0 ( 0%)
Fail: 0 ( 0%)
Note: (ql:quickload "stmx.test") intentionally works only after
(ql:quickload "stmx") has completed successfuly.
The test suite should report zero Skip and zero Fail; the number of Pass may vary. You are welcome to report any failure you get while running the test suite, please include in the report:
See "Contacts, help, discussion" below for the preferred method to send the report.
STMX offers the following Lisp macros and functions, also heavily documented
in the sources - remember (describe 'some-symbol) at REPL.
TRANSACTIONAL declares that a class or struct is transactional, i.e. that its
slots contain transactional data. Use it to wrap a class or a struct definition:
(transactional
(defclass foo ()
((value1 :type integer :initarg :value1 :initform 0)
(value2 :type string :initarg :value2 :initform ""))))
(transactional
(defstruct bar ()
(value1 0 :type integer)
(value2 "" :type string)))
If you want to declare a slot as non-transactional, for example because it is
immutable, add the option :transactional nil:
(transactional
(defclass tred-black-tree ()
((root :type t)
(key-comparator :type function :transactional nil))))
Note: on all Common Lisp implementations listed above, CLOS slot accessors have been tested to work correctly, i.e. they honour the transactional machinery (implemented with MOP slot-value-using-class) and return the same values as SLOT-VALUE.
In the past, some cases were found - and fixed - where slot accessors would not work correctly on transactional classes. It is strongly recommended to run the test suite when using STMX for the first time on a system: it will also check that accessors work on transactional classes.
Support for (TRANSACTIONAL (DEFSTRUCT ...)) was added in STMX version 2.0.1
on January 2015. Previously, only (TRANSACTIONAL (DEFCLASS ...)) was supported.
ATOMIC is the main macro: it wraps Lisp forms into an atomic
memory transaction then executes them. For example, defining
(defun show-foo (obj)
(declare (type foo obj))
(multiple-value-bind (value1 value2)
(atomic
(values (slot-value obj 'value1)
(slot-value obj 'value2)))
(format t "atomic function show-foo: foo contains ~S, ~S~%"
value1 value2)))
(defmethod set-foo ((obj foo) value1 value2)
(declare (type integer value1)
(type string value2))
(atomic
(setf (slot-value obj 'value1) value1)
(setf (slot-value obj 'value2) value2))
(format t "atomic method set-foo: foo now contains ~S, S~%"
value1 value2))
SHOW-FOO will atomically read the slots VALUE1 and VALUE2 of a FOO
instance, then print both. Note that (format t ...) is outside the atomic
block - more on this later.
SET-FOO will atomically set the slots VALUE1 and VALUE2 of a FOO instance.
Using these two functions, STMX guarantees that multiple threads accessing the same FOO instance will always see consistent values for both slots, i.e. SHOW-FOO will never see intermediate states of a transaction, where for example one slot has been updated by SET-FOO, but the other slot has not been updated yet.
This is the main feature of STMX: if an atomic block completes normally,
it is assumed to be successful and it gets committed: all its writes
to transactional memory become visible simultaneously to other threads.
If instead an atomic block exits with a non-local control transfer
(signals an error, throws, or invokes a (go some-label)), it is assumed
to be failed and it gets rolled back: all its writes to transactional memory
are discarded.
Warning: in order to avoid deadlocks and conflicts while still reaching good
performance, STMX may execute more than once the contents of an atomic block.
Also, some instructions as (retry) described below, explicitly cause an
atomic block to be re-executed from the beginning. For this reasons,
atomic blocks should not contain irreversible operations such as
input/output. More details in the paragraph INPUT/OUTPUT DURING TRANSACTIONS
below.
Note: new threads must be created with (bordeaux-threads:start-thread)
in order to establish thread-local bindings needed by STMX. A safety check
that detects missing thread-local bindings has been recently added to STMX.
Note: STMX allows using transactional data both inside and outside atomic
blocks, but be aware that accessing transactional data from outside
atomic transactions is only intended for debugging purposes at the REPL:
in a program it can cause a lot of problems, due to inconsistencies and due to
other threads not being notified when a transactional memory location is
updated.
Future versions may remove this convenience hack and replace it with a cleaner,
stricter mechanism.
In a program, always make sure that all code that accesses transactional data
is directly or indirectly executed inside an (atomic ...) block.
TRANSACTION declares that a method or function is an atomic memory
transaction, and is actually just a macro that wraps the body of a function
or method in an (atomic ...) block.
In the past, it was suggested as a more convenient alternative to ATOMIC,
but for various stylistic reasons the current recommendation is to avoid it.
The main reason is that it encourages performing too many operations inside
an atomic block, including irreversible ones as input/output, which has
impredictable behaviour and should be really avoided. Examples:
(transaction
(defun get-foo-values (obj)
(declare (type foo obj))
(values
(value1-of obj) (value2-of obj))))
(transaction
(defmethod set-foo-values ((obj foo) value1 value2)
(declare (type integer value1)
(type string value2))
(setf (value1-of obj) value1)
(setf (value2-of obj) value2)
obj))
Composing transactions
A key feature of ATOMIC is its composability:
smaller transactions can be composed to create larger transactions.
For example, the following three program fragments are perfectly equivalent:
use (atomic ...) to wrap into a single transaction many smaller (atomic ...) blocks
(defmethod swap-value1-of ((x foo) (y foo)) (format t "swapping value1 of ~S and ~S~%" x y) (atomic (rotatef (slot-value x 'value1) (slot-value y 'value1))))
(defmethod swap-value2-of ((x foo) (y foo)) (format t "swapping value2 of ~S and ~S~%" x y) (atomic (rotatef (slot-value x 'value2) (slot-value y 'value2))))
(defmethod swap-contents ((x foo) (y foo)) (atomic (swap-value1-of x y) (swap-value2-of x y)))
write redundant (atomic ...) blocks
(defmethod swap-contents ((x foo) (y foo)) (format t "swapping value1 and value2 of ~S and ~S~%" x y) (atomic (atomic (rotatef (slot-value x 'value1) (slot-value y 'value1))) (atomic (rotatef (slot-value x 'value2) (slot-value y 'value2)))))
write a single (atomic ...) block
(defmethod swap-contents ((x foo) (y foo)) (format t "swapping value1 and value2 of ~S and ~S~%" x y) (atomic (rotatef (slot-value x 'value1) (slot-value y 'value1)) (rotatef (slot-value x 'value2) (slot-value y 'value2))))
This composability property has an important consequence: transactional code, possibly written by different people for unrelated purposes, can be combined into larger transactions without modifying it - actually, without looking at the source code at all - as long as it all uses the same transactional library.
The STMX machinery will guarantee that transactions intermediate status, where an atomic block is half-way through its job, will never be visible to other transactions.
For example, it becomes trivial to write some code that atomically removes an object from a transactional container and adds it to another one: just write something like
(defmethod move-obj-from-a-to-b ((a some-container) (b another-container))
(atomic
(let ((obj (take-obj-from-some-container a)))
(put-obj-into-another-container obj b))))
and it will work as long as both container are transactional and use the same transaction library (in this case, STMX).
A lot of facts that in other concurrent programming paradigms can be
great obstacles to such a solution become completely irrelevant
when using transactions:
it is irrelevant that the two containers may be unrelated classes,
that the respective authors may not have anticipated such need in the APIs,
that the internal details of the two implementations may be unknown to the
author of code that combines them atomically (the move-obj-from-a-to-b
in the example),
that other existing code in the program uses the same containers a and b
but does not cooperate with move-obj-from-a-to-b.
Style suggestion: in order to guarantee that all transactional memory accesses
are performed inside an atomic block, it may be tempting to wrap each function
or method body inside (atomic ...). While safe and correct, this approach
has a small performance penalty that performance-critical code may want to
avoid by minimizing the number of (atomic ...) blocks: it is enough to have
a top-level atomic block that corresponds to the largest transaction that one
wants to execute, and omit inner atomic blocks in the same or other functions
called directly or indirectly from the top-level atomic block. In such case,
it is strongly recommended to insert in the documentation of the functions
accessing transactional memory without a direct atomic block a sentence like
"This function should be always invoked from inside an STMX atomic block."
RETRY is a function. It is more tricky to understand, but really powerful.
As described in the summary, transactions will commit if they return normally,
while they will rollback if they signal an error or condition.
The (retry) function call offers a third option: if invoked inside
a transaction, it tells STMX that the transaction cannot complete
immediately, for example because some necessary data is not currently
available, and instructs STMX to wait until the data has changed,
then re-execute the transaction from scratch.
How does (retry) know which data it should monitor for changes?
Simple: it will monitor all transactional data (including slots of
transactional objects) that was read since the beginning of the
transaction and until (retry) was invoked.
With RETRY, reliable communication among threads is (hopefully)
extremely simple to implement: a thread can read one (or more)
transactional data, checking for values that some other thread
will write there, and just (retry) if no appropriate values are
there yet.
ORELSE is a macro to execute two or more Lisp forms as alternatives
in separate, nested transactions: if the first retries or detects an
inconsistent read, the second will be executed and so on, until one
transaction either commits (returns normally) or rollbacks (signals
an error or condition). It can only be used inside a transaction.
NONBLOCKING is an utility macro based on ORELSE to convert a blocking
transaction into another that returns NIL instead of waiting
(and otherwise returns T followed by the values or the original transaction)
(nonblocking (x) (y) (z))
basically expands to
(orelse (values t (progn (x) (y) (z))) nil)
with the difference that (nonblocking ...) actually captures all the values
returned by the transaction, not just the first as in the example above.
WARNING: since transactions will be re-executed in case of conflicts with others and can also rollback or retry, all code inside an atomic block may be executed more times than expected, or may be executed when not expected.
Some transactional memory implementations, especially for statically-typed languages, forbid performing input/output during a transaction on the ground that I/O is not transactional: if a transaction sends an irreversible command to the outside world, there is no way to undo it in case the transaction rolls back, retries or conflicts.
STMX does not implement such restrictions, i.e. I/O and any other irreversible action can also be performed inside an atomic block. This means you are free to launch missiles during a transaction, and destroy the world when you shouldn't have. You have been warned.
Despite the risk, there are at least two reasons for such a design choice:
The typical solution for the above risk is: during a transaction, perform I/O only for debugging purposes, for example using a logging library as log4cl (or whatever is appropriate for your program), and queue any I/O operation in a transactional buffer. Then, invoke a separate function that first runs a transaction to atomically consume the buffer and only later, outside any transaction, performs the actual I/O operation.
An alternative solution is: during a transaction, instead of performing I/O
pass to AFTER-COMMIT a function that will perform I/O when executed.
Note: AFTER-COMMIT is described in Advanced usage below, read it carefully
because functions executed by AFTER-COMMIT have several restrictions on what
they are allowed to do.
For those cases where the basic features are not sufficient, or where more control is desired during the execution of transactional code, some advanced features are available:
RUN-ATOMIC is the function version of ATOMIC: takes a single function
argument and executes it in a transaction. This means the following two code
snippets are equivalent:
(defvar a (make-instance 'foo))
(defvar b (make-instance 'foo))
(atomic
(set-foo a 1 "abc")
(set-foo b 2 "def"))
and
(defvar a (make-instance 'foo))
(defvar b (make-instance 'foo))
(defun init-foo-a-and-b ()
(set-foo a 1 "abc")
(set-foo b 2 "def"))
(run-atomic #'init-foo-a-and-b)
RUN-ORELSE is the function version of ORELSE: it accepts any number
of functions and executes them as alternatives in separate, nested
transactions:
if the first retries or is invalid, the second will be executed and so on,
until one function either commits (returns normally) or rollbacks
(signals an error or condition).
If X, Y and Z are no-argument functions, the following two lines are equivalent:
(orelse (x) (y) (z))
(run-orelse #'x #'y #'z)
BEFORE-COMMIT is a macro that registers Lisp forms to be executed later,
just before the transaction tries to commit.
It can be useful to normalize or simplify some transactional data, or perform
any kind of bookkeeping activity.
Be aware that the transaction is not yet committed when the forms registered with BEFORE-COMMIT run. This means in particular:
There is no guarantee that the commit will succeed.
If the forms signal an error when executed, the error is propagated to the caller, forms registered later with BEFORE-COMMIT are not executed, and the transaction rolls back.
The forms can read and write normally to transactional memory, and in case of conflicts the whole transaction, including all forms registered with BEFORE-COMMIT, is re-executed from the beginning.
The forms cannot (retry) - attempts to do so will signal an error. Starting a nested transaction and retrying inside that is acceptable, as long as the (retry) does not propagate outside the forms themselves.
AFTER-COMMIT is another macro that registers Lisp forms to be executed
later, but in this case they are executed immediately after the
transaction has been successfully committed.
It can be useful to notify some subsystem that for any reason cannot call
(retry) to be informed of changes in transactional memory - for example
because it is some existing code that one does not wish to modify.
In this case, the transaction is already committed when the forms registered with AFTER-COMMIT run, and (since STMX 1.3.2) the forms are executed outside any transaction. There are some limitations on what the forms can do:
If the forms signal an error when executed, the error is propagated to the caller, forms registered later with AFTER-COMMIT are not executed, but the transaction remains committed.
The forms are not executed inside a transaction: while it is certainly
possible to explicitly run an (atomic) block from them, doing so would
probably defeat the purpose of AFTER-COMMIT and it may also cause
a significant performance penalty.
CALL-BEFORE-COMMIT is the function version of BEFORE-COMMIT: it accepts a
single function and registers it to be executed before the transaction tries
to commit.
CALL-AFTER-COMMIT is the function version of AFTER-COMMIT: it accepts a
single function and registers it to be executed after the transaction
has been successfully committed.
TVAR is the class implementing transactional memory behind the scenes.
It is used internally by slots of transactional classes, but can also be used
directly. Except if specified, all its functions and methods work both inside
and outside transactions (remember that using transactional memory outside
transactions is only intended for debugging purposes). Functions and
methods:
(tvar [initial-value]) Create a new TVAR, optionally bound to a value.($-slot var) Get the value of VAR. Signals an error if VAR is not bound
to any value. Note: before STMX 1.9.0, this function was named ($ var).(setf ($-slot var) value) Store VALUE into VAR.
Note: before STMX 1.9.0, this function was named (setf ($ var) value).(bound-$? var) Return true if VAR is bound to some value.(unbind-$ var) Unbind VAR from its value.(value-of var) getter method, equivalent to ($-slot var)(setf (value-of var) value) setter method, equivalent to
(setf ($-slot var) value)For programmers that want to squeeze the last CPU cycle out of STMX, there are also some more specialized functions:
($ var) Get the value of VAR. Return +unbound-tvar+ if VAR is not
bound to any value.(setf ($ var) value) Set the value of VAR. Identical to (setf ($-slot var) value)
and provided for simmetry with ($ var).STMX versions 1.9.0 or later can take advantage of hardware transactions on Intel CPUs that support Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) As of February 2020, many recent consumer and server Intel CPUs support them, including at least:

To actually use hardware transactions from STMX, there are two more requirements:
Also, hardware transactions only work in compiled code - SBCL sometimes interprets very short functions and simple code executed at REPL instead of compiling them, which may cause hardware transactions to fail.
There are several ways. The easiest are:
(HW-TRANSACTION-SUPPORTED?).
It internally calls the CPUID assembler instruction and returns T if hardware
transactions are supported, or NIL if they are not.(ATOMIC (HW-TRANSACTION-SUPPORTED-AND-RUNNING?))
in compiled code - hardware transactions typically do not work in interpreted code.
Thus actually execute something like
(DEFUN HW-TRANSACTION-TEST () (ATOMIC (HW-TRANSACTION-SUPPORTED-AND-RUNNING?))) (HW-TRANSACTION-TEST)STMX automatically uses hardware transactions if they are supported.
There is no need for special commands, just execute the usual (ATOMIC ...)
or (RUN-ATOMIC ...) forms.
Hardware transactions have several limitations, and STMX will seamlessly switch to (slower) software transactions in the following cases:
hardware limits are exceeded, for example read-set or write-set are larger than CPU L1 cache
executing a function or macro not supported by hardware transactions. The list is subject to change, it currently includes:
executing a CPU instruction not allowed inside hardware transaction. In particular, Intel TSX guarantees that CPU instructions
will always abort a hardware transaction, but many other CPU instructions typically have the same effect, including possibly:
For details and up-to-date information, see Intel Instruction Set Programming Reference, Chapter "Transactional Synchronization Extensions".
See the example and util folder, which contains several
examples and utilities built with STMX and should be relatively straightforward
to understand. The folder util contains the following classes with
related methods and functions, all in the STMX.UTIL package - for more details,
use (describe 'some-symbol) at REPL:
TCELL is the simplest transactional class. It is created with
(tcell [initial-value]) and it can be empty or hold a
single value.
Methods: FULL? EMPTY? EMPTY! PEEK TAKE PUT TRY-TAKE TRY-PUT.
When empty, taking a value will (retry) and wait until some other thread puts a value.
When full, putting a value will (retry) and wait until some other thread removes the current value.
Note: raw TVARs support exactly the same methods.
TCONS is a transactional cons cell. It is created with
(tcons first-value second-value).
Functions: TFIRST (SETF TFIRST) TREST (SETF TREST).
Seldom used directly.
TLIST is a transactional list, composed of TCONS cells. It is created with
(tlist [values ...]).
Functions: TFIRST (SETF TFIRST) TREST (SETF TREST) TPUSH TPOP
TSECOND TTHIRD TFOURTH TNTH TLAST TLIST-LENGTH TLIST* and many others.
See util/tlist.lisp for details.
Normal lists are perfectly suitable for transactional use as long as they are not destructively modified, so TLIST is often unnecessary: it becomes needed only to support transactional destructive modifications.
TSTACK is a transactional first-in-last-out buffer. It is created with
(tstack) and it can be empty or hold unlimited values.
Methods: FULL? EMPTY? EMPTY! PEEK TAKE PUT TRY-TAKE TRY-PUT.
All methods append or remove values from the end, and putting a value
always succeeds, even when other values are already present: the new
value is simple appended at the end.
For the rest, the methods behave as described for the TCELL class.
TFIFO is a transactional first-in-first-out buffer. It is created with
(make-instance 'tfifo) and it can be empty or hold unlimited values.
Methods: FULL? EMPTY? EMPTY! PEEK TAKE PUT TRY-TAKE TRY-PUT.
PUT and TRY-PUT append values at the end, PEEK TAKE and TRY-TAKE
get or remove them from the beginning, shifting the remaining values.
For the rest, the methods behave as described for the TCELL and TSTACK
classes.
TCHANNEL is a transactional multicast channel. It is created with
(make-instance 'tchannel), can contain unlimited values and it is write-only.
To read from it, create a TPORT as described below.
Methods: FULL? EMPTY? PUT TRY-PUT.
PUT and TRY-PUT append values at the end, making them available to
connected ports.
FULL? always returns nil, since a channel can contain unlimited values.
EMPTY? always returns t, since it is not possible to get values from a
channel.
It is possible to write into the same channel from multiple threads: added elements will be interleaved and made available to all connected ports.
TPORT is a transactional reader for TCHANNEL. It is created with
(make-instance 'tport :channel some-channel).
Ports do not support putting values, they are used to retrieve values from the
channel they are connected to.
Methods: FULL? EMPTY? EMPTY! PEEK TAKE TRY-TAKE.
PEEK TAKE and TRY-TAKE get or consume values previously added to the
connected channel. All ports connected to the same channel receive all the
values in the same order, and they consume values independently: taking a
value from a port does not consume it from the other ports.
FULL? always returns t, since it is not possible to put values in a port.
EMPTY? returns t if some values are available to read or consume.
EMPTY! consumes all values currently available.
It is also possible to use the same port from multiple threads: elements consumed by one thread will not be available to other threads using the same port.
THASH-TABLE is a transactional hash table.
It is created with
(make-instance 'thash-table [:test 'some-test-function] [:hash 'some-hash-function]).
One difference from standard Common Lisp HASH-TABLE:
:hash 'some-hash-function
For the usual test functions, i.e. 'eq 'eql 'equal and 'equalp the hash function
can be omitted and a safe default (usually 'sxhash) will be used.
For other test functions, the hash function becomes mandatory.Methods: GHASH-TABLE-COUNT GHASH-TABLE-COUNT> GHASH-TABLE-COUNT<=
GHASH-TABLE-EMPTY? CLEAR-GHASH
GET-GHASH (SETF GET-GHASH) SET-GHASH REM-GHASH
MAP-GHASH DO-GHASH COPY-GHASH
GHASH-KEYS GHASH-VALUES GHASH-PAIRS
GHASH-TEST GHASH-HASH.
Warning: retrieving the number of elements in a transactional container is potentially expensive:
to maintain consistency, it inhibits concurrent insertion and removal from other threads.
For this reason, use GHASH-TABLE-COUNT sparingly.
THASH-TABLE constructor arguments test and hash changed in STMX 2.0.0.
They now must be function names (i.e. symbols), previously they were actual functions.
TMAP is a transactional sorted map, backed by a red-black tree.
It is created with (make-instance 'tmap :pred compare-function)
where COMPARE-FUNCTION must be the name of a function accepting two arguments,
KEY1 and KEY2, and returning t if KEY1 is smaller that KEY2.
For numeric keys, typical COMPARE-FUNCTIONs are '< or '> and the faster
'fixnum< or 'fixnum>.
For string keys, typical COMPARE-FUNCTIONs are 'string< and 'string>.
Note: COMPARE-FUNCTIONs changed in STMX 2.0.0. They now must be function names (i.e. symbols), previously they were actual functions.
Methods: GMAP-PRED GMAP-COUNT GMAP-EMPTY? CLEAR-GMAP
GET-GMAP (SETF GET-GMAP) SET-GMAP REM-GMAP
MIN-GMAP MAX-GMAP MAP-GMAP DO-GMAP
GMAP-KEYS GMAP-VALUES GMAP-PAIRS.
Warning: retrieving the number of elements in a transactional container is potentially expensive:
to maintain consistency, it inhibits concurrent insertion and removal from other threads.
For this reason, use GMAP-COUNT sparingly.
GHASH-TABLE is the non-transactional version of THASH-TABLE. Not so
interesting by itself, as Common Lisp offers a standard (and usually faster)
HASH-TABLE implementation. It supports exactly the same methods as THASH-TABLE.
RBMAP is the non-transactional version of TMAP. Not so interesting by
itself, as many other red-black trees implementations exist already on the
net. It supports exactly the same methods as TMAP.
STMX automatically discovers and takes advantage of many optional, non-standard features of the underlying Common Lisp compiler. It also performs graceful degradation, i.e. if the fastest version of a feature is not available it automatically switches to a slower, available alternative.
Depending on the available features, STMX performance can vary up to a factor 100 or more (!).
To reach its peak performance, several requirements need to be satisfied by the hardware and by the Lisp compiler being used. They are listed here in order of importance:
Hardware requirements:
Lisp compiler requirements:
Among the non-commercial Lisp compilers, SBCL is the only one known to STMX author that satisfies all the compiler requirements, and (guess why) the only one where STMX author has implemented support for hardware transactions.
Actually, all the other tested free Lisp compilers (ABCL, CCL, CMUCL, ECL) are at least somewhat lacking in the area "fast, highly optimized code", and none of them offers atomic compare-and-swap or memory barrier operations at all. One - CMUCL - produces relatively fast code, but does not support native threads. STMX is not tested on any commercial Lisp compiler, so performance on them is simply unknown.
For these reasons, STMX will reach the highest known performance on SBCL by a large margin - possibly by a factor from 10 to 100 or more with respect to other tested systems.
For more performance considerations and a lot of raw numbers produced by running micro-benchmarks, see the included files doc/benchmark.md, doc/benchmark-abcl.md, doc/benchmark-ccl64.md and doc/benchmark-cmucl.md.
The short version is: as of March 2015, on a fast consumer PC (Core i7 4770 @ 3.5GHz or better) with 64-bit SBCL 1.1.9 or better, STMX can execute more than 35 millions hardware transactions per second per CPU core, and more than 7 millions software transactions per second per CPU core. The second platform in terms of performance is CCL (x86_64), that reaches 1.1 millions software transactions per second per CPU core using two threads, but STMX performance quickly decreases with more threads (reason still needs to be investigated).
A small example with very short transactions is the dining philosophers, with 5 reads and 5 writes to transactional memory per atomic block, where each CPU core runs approximately 4.5 millions software transactions per second - hyperthreading has very limited effects.
Obviously, performance in other usage scenarios will depend on the complexity of the code inside transactions, on the availability of hardware transactions, on the number of reads and writes to transactional memory, and the rate of conflicts and rollbacks.
These result are not absolute performance considerations of the tested Lisp systems. They are simply the outcome of running micro-benchmarks of a particular library optimized for SBCL (see the hardware transactions, atomic compare-and-swap and memory barriers considerations) on several other Lisp systems. Do not try to construct these results as STMX author's opinions on the mentioned Lisp systems.
For a less artificial and hopefully more realistic benchmark, the author has ported Lee-TM, a non-trivial benchmark suite for transactional memory developed in 2007 by the University of Manchester (UK). The result is Lee-STMX - as of July 2013, its status is BETA.
As long as the traffic is low enough, GitHub Issues can be used to report test suite failures, bugs, suggestions, general discussion etc.
If the traffic becomes high, more appropriate discussion channels will be set-up.
The author will also try to answer support requests, but gives no guarantees.
As of July 2013, STMX is being written by Massimiliano Ghilardi and is considered by the author to be stable.
STMX is a full rewrite of CL-STM, which has been developed by Hoan Ton-That for the Google Summer of Code 2006.

Register BODY to be invoked after the current transaction commits.
If BODY signals an error when executed, the error is propagated
to the caller and further code registered with AFTER-COMMIT is not executed,
but the transaction remains committed.
WARNING: Code registered with after-commit has a number or restrictions:
1) if BODY signal an error when executed, the error is propagated to the caller,
forms registered later with AFTER-COMMIT are not executed,
but the transaction remains committed.
2) BODY is *not* executed inside a transaction: while it is certainly possible to explicitly run an (atomic) block from it, doing so would probably defeat the purpose of AFTER-COMMIT and it may also cause a significant performance penalty.
commit.lisp (file)
macro.lisp (file)
Analyze the slots of a non-transactional struct, so that transactional structs can subclass it.
Use this macro to wrap a DEFSTRUCT as follows:
(ANALYZE-STRUCT (DEFSTRUCT {struct-name | (struct-name [options])} slots-description*)
Note: this macro only analyzes the structure definition, does *not* define the structure. See NON-TRANSACTIONAL-STRUCT for that.
tstruct.lisp (file)
Main entry point for STMX.
Run BODY in a memory transaction. All changes to transactional memory
will be visible to other threads only after BODY returns normally (commits).
If BODY signals an error, its effects on transactional memory are rolled back
and the error is propagated normally.
Also, no work-in-progress transactional memory will ever be visible to other
threads.
A memory transaction can also retry: in such case ATOMIC will abort it,
wait until some of the value read by the transaction have changed,
then re-run the transaction from the beginning.
Since STMX transactions do not lock memory, it is possible for different
transactions to try to update the same memory (almost) simultaneously.
In such case, the conflict is detected when they try to commit or rollback,
and only one conflicting transaction is allowed to commit:
all others are immediately re-run again from the beginning.
For this reason, a transaction SHOULD NOT perform any irreversible
operation such as INPUT/OUTPUT: the result would be that I/O is executed
multiple times, or executed even when it shouldn’t have!
Irreversible operations SHOULD be performed OUTSIDE transactions,
for example by queueing them into transactional memory that another thread
will consume and then, OUTSIDE transactions, actually perform them.
For how to create transactional memory, see TRANSACTIONAL or TVAR.
For another way to run transactions, see also TRANSACTION.
For advanced features inside transactions, see RETRY, ORELSE, NONBLOCKING,
BEFORE-COMMIT and AFTER-COMMIT.
For pre-defined transactional classes, see the package STMX.UTIL
atomic.lisp (file)
atomic-ops.lisp (file)
Atomically decrement PLACE by DELTA. Return _previous_ value of PLACE.
atomic-ops.lisp (file)
Atomically increment PLACE by DELTA. Return _previous_ value of PLACE.
atomic-ops.lisp (file)
Like POP, but atomic. PLACE may be read multiple times before the operation completes – the write does not occur until such time that no other thread modified PLACE between the read and the write.
Works only on places supported by ATOMIC-COMPARE-AND-SWAP.
atomic-ops.lisp (file)
macro.lisp (file)
Register BODY to be invoked immediately before the current transaction commits.
If BODY signals an error when executed, the error is propagated to the caller,
further code registered with BEFORE-COMMIT are not executed,
and the transaction rollbacks.
BODY can read and write normally to transactional memory, and in case of conflicts
the whole transaction (not only the code registered with before-commit)
is re-executed from the beginning.
WARNING: BODY cannot (retry) - attempts to do so will signal an error.
Starting a nested transaction and retrying inside that is acceptable,
as long as the (retry) does not propagate outside BODY.
commit.lisp (file)
Same as DEFCONSTANT, but evaluate VALUE only once:
re-executing again the same (DEFINE-CONSTANT-ONCE name ...) has no effects.
features-detect.lisp (file)
Define NAME as a global variable, declaring that it will have the same value
in all threads, i.e. it will not be special nor dynamically bound.
This is implemented either with a compiler-specific macro (for example SB-EXT:DEFGLOBAL on SBCL), or as DEFVAR if no better implementation is available.
features-detect.lisp (file)
print.lisp (file)
fast-vector.lisp (file)
Execute BODY on each KEY/VALUE contained in HASH. Return NIL.
ghash-table.lisp (file)
Execute BODY in order on each key/value pair contained in M:
first execute it on the smallest key, then the second smallest...
finally execute BODY on the largest key. Return nil.
If :FROM-END is true, BODY will be executed first on the largest key,
then on the second largest key... and finally on the smallest key.
Adding or removing keys from M during this call (even from other threads) has undefined consequences. Not even the current key can be removed.
Execute body on each key/value pair contained in hash table
hash-table.lisp (file)
Execute BODY on each ELEMENT contained in simple-tvector TVEC.
Creates an implicit block named NIL, so (return ...) can be used to exit early from the loop with an explicit return value.
simple-tvector.lisp (file)
Execute BODY for each atom inside TREE
macro.lisp (file)
features-reader.lisp (file)
macro.lisp (file)
Possibly slightly faster variant of ATOMIC.
On systems supporting hardware transactions (as of July 2013, very few systems
support them), FAST-ATOMIC and ATOMIC are identical.
On other systems, multiple nested FAST-ATOMIC forms may be slightly faster than
multiple nested ATOMIC blocks, at the price of compiling BODY more than once.
atomic.lisp (file)
If FAST-VECTOR is not empty, remove its last element and return it and t as multiple values. Otherwise evaluate DEFAULT and return (values DEFAULT NIL).
fast-vector.lisp (file)
Return current value of atomic PLACE.
atomic-counter.lisp (file)
Return DELTA plus current value of atomic PLACE.
atomic-counter.lisp (file)
Run BODY in a hardware memory transaction. All changes to transactional memory
will be visible to other threads only after BODY returns normally (commits).
If BODY signals an error, its effects on transactional memory are rolled back
and the error is propagated normally.
Also, no work-in-progress transactional memory will ever be visible to other
threads.
If hardware memory transaction aborts for a conflict, rerun it.
If it fails for some other reason, execute FALLBACK.
hw-atomic.lisp (file)
Abort a hardware memory transaction currently in progress. Causes a rollback of *all* transaction effects, execution resumes at (hw-transaction-begin) by returning abort reason.
hw-transactions.lisp (file)
Start a hardware memory transaction. Return +hw-transaction-started+ if transaction started successfully, otherwise return abort reason.
hw-transactions.lisp (file)
Try to commit a hardware memory transaction currently in progress. If commit is successful, return normally. Otherwise execution resumes at (hw-transaction-begin) by returning abort reason.
hw-transactions.lisp (file)
If ERR-CODE is the result returned by (HW-TRANSACTION-BEGIN) of an *aborted* transaction,
return T if re-running the same transaction has a possibility to succeed,

TRANSACTION-BEGIN.
If called without an active transaction, TRANSACTION-ABORT returns normally with an implementation-dependent value.
transaction.lisp (file)
Start a hardware memory transaction.
Return +transaction-started+ if transaction started successfully,
otherwise return code of the error that caused the transaction to abort.
Invoking TRANSACTION-BEGIN while there is already a running hardware memory transaction has implementation-dependent effects.
transaction.lisp (file)
Commit a hardware memory transaction.
Return normally (with an implementation-dependent value) if commit is successful,
otherwise abort the transaction.
In case the transaction is aborted, all effects of code between TRANSACTION-BEGIN
and TRANSACTION-END are rolled back (undone):
execution resumes at the instruction immediately after TRANSACTION-BEGIN,
in such a way that TRANSACTION-BEGIN will appear to have returned
a non-zero error code (that describes the abort reason).
Invoking TRANSACTION-END without a running hardware memory transaction
has undefined consequences.
transaction.lisp (file)
If ERR-CODE is the result returned by (TRANSACTION-BEGIN) of an *aborted* transaction,
return T if re-running the same transaction has a possibility to succeed,
i.e. if the abort reason was temporary (as for example a conflict with another thread).
Return NIL if re-running the same transaction has no possibility to succeed.
transaction.lisp (file)
Return T if a hardware memory transaction is currently in progress, otherwise return NIL.
transaction.lisp (file)

a transactional variable (tvar) is the smallest unit of transactional memory.
it contains a single value that can be read or written during a transaction
using ($-slot var) and (setf ($-slot var) value).
tvars are seldom used directly, since transactional objects (tobjs) wrap them
with a more convenient interface: you can read and write normally the slots
of a transactional object (with slot-value, accessors ...), and behind
the scenes the slots will be stored in transactional memory implemented by tvars.

because the global clock is incremented only by GV5/AFTER-ABORT, which avoids
incrementing it in GV5/START-WRITE (it would cause hardware transactions
to conflict with each other and abort) but also causes a 50% abort rate (!) even
in a single, isolated thread reading and writing its own transactional memory.

This is GV6 implementation of GLOBAL-CLOCK/DECF-NOHW-COUNTER. Calls (GV5/DECF-NOHW-COUNTER).
global-clock.lisp (file)
This is GV6 implementation of GLOBAL-CLOCK/FEATURES.
Return ’(:SUITABLE-FOR-HW-TRANSACTIONS :SPURIOUS-FAILURES-IN-SINGLE-THREAD)
just like GV5 because the global clock is based on GV5: it is usually not
incremented by GV6/START-WRITE, to prevent hardware transactions from
conflicting with each other.
This can cause very high abort rates of software transactions, so
GV6 adaptively switches to GV1 algorithm in the following cases:
a) software-only commits are in progress
b) abort rate is very high
in order to try to reduce the abort rates.

Run BODY in a software memory transaction. All changes to transactional memory
will be visible to other threads only after BODY returns normally (commits).
If BODY signals an error, its effects on transactional memory are rolled back
and the error is propagated normally.
Also, no work-in-progress transactional memory will ever be visible to other
threads.
sw-atomic.lisp (file)
Immediately abort a hardware memory transaction with a user-specified
ERR-CODE, which must be a constant between 0 and 255 (default: 1).
Note: the value returned by (transaction-begin) will also contain "somewhere"
the bits of ERR-CODE, but will have a different value.
See Intel x86-64 CPU instruction reference manual, section TSX, for details.
If a transaction is in progress, TRANSACTION-ABORT-MACRO does not return normally:
execution is resumed at the instruction immediately after the outermost
TRANSACTION-BEGIN.
If called without a running transaction, TRANSACTION-ABORT-MACRO returns normally with an implementation-dependent value.

Commit a TLOG to memory.
It returns a boolean specifying whether or not the transaction
log was committed. If the transaction log cannot be committed
it either means that:
a) the TLOG is invalid - then the whole transaction must be re-executed
b) another TLOG is writing the same TVARs being committed
so that TVARs locks could not be aquired - also in this case
the whole transaction will be re-executed, as there is little hope
that the TLOG will still be valid.
Note: internally invokes GLOBAL-CLOCK/{HW,SW}/STAT-{COMMITTED,ABORTED}
