+====== Large-Scale Distributed Transactions ======
+**Master project**
+Transactional Memory (TM) is a synchronization mechanism dedicated to the multicore era where cores communicate through shared memory. Recent results have shown how TM can leverage cache coherence protocols, this led to the definition of a new concept called Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM). Although priority-based contention managers have been extensively studied in the shared memory model, there is very little work on their applicability in message-passing model.
+In a large-scale network where nodes can issue transactions on distributed objects, the cost of local computation is negligible compared to the communication cost. Hence, contention management in DTM has to
+take communication cost into account to map priority to transactions.
+The goal of this project is:
+  * to apply traditional contention managers to the context of DTMs in large-scale networks,
+  * to implement some contention managers using a Peer-to-Peer simulator,
+  * to conclude based on the obtained simulation results.
