Abortable and Query-abortable Types and Their Efficient Implementation

We introduce abortable and query-abortable object types intended for implementation in asynchronous shared-memory systems with low contention. Implementations of such types behave like ordinary objects when accessed sequentially, but may abort operations when accessed concurrently. An aborted operat...
