JWormBench

JWormBench is a port of the WormBench 1 benchmark from C# to Java. This port extends the original benchmark in several ways, making it more useful as a testbed for evaluating STMs. Moreover, our port, which we called JWormBench, was designed to be easily extensible and to allow easy integration with different STMs.

We used the JWormBench to explore the effects on performance of relaxing the transparency of an STM 2.
