Resumen

Transactional Memory is an abstraction that helps concurrent programming, however, in high contention sceneries, it presents low performance because of the high conflict rate between transactions. In this work, we present four transactional schedulers implemented entirely in Haskell using different abstraction levels. The results present, despite the inherent overhead of highlevel implementations, a reduction in the conflict rates.
