Questionnaire guidelines:
Typically, you just have to spend an hour skimming through the first paper on
the list. Spend a few minutes thinking about the problem/approach/contributions
of the paper and then answer the questionnaire briefly. This is mainly testing
your ability to think critically about the problem at hand. A response of
around 100 words is fine, although longer responses are also welcome. 


Question: 
---------
Speculation for Coherence and Consistency

The papers propose techniques to speculate beyond the constraints
imposed by coherence and consistency. Do you think these or similar
techniques can help work around the constraints imposed by a
transactional memory system as well?
