Zusammenfassung:A transactional memory system salvages a partially executed hardware transaction. A processor of the transactional memory system determines information about an about-to-fail handler for transactional execution of a code region of a hardware transaction. The processor then executes the about-to-fail handler using the information about the about-to-fail handler, the about-to-fail handler determining whether the hardware transaction is to be salvaged or to be aborted.
