It is a concurrency control mechanism analogous to database transactions for controlling access to shared memory in concurrent computing.

Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“Tsars and slaves, the intelligent and the obtuse, publicans and pharisees all have an identical legal and moral right to honor the memory of the deceased as they see fit, without regard for anyone else’s opinion and without the fear of hindering one another.”
