In this paper we propose a new classification for the active states of a transaction; a new memory quiescing algorithm, to allow the safe transition of a memory block form transactional to non-transactional space; we compare word and object transactional grain units; and evaluate the cost of consistent state validation, arguing that this cost can be minimized by performing partial validation on problematic code regions.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
