+====== Transactional Elasticity and Boosting ======
+**Master project**
+In an attempt to make the programming abstraction as general as possible, Software Transactional Memory (STM) often hampers performance. In contrast with STMs, synchronization techniques at the core of a concurrent program that targets a single specific application can be genuinely tuned to enhance concurrency and to
+limit contention.
+Elastic transaction and transactional boosting are two recent techniques to enhance concurrency of existing STM by exposing additional semantics to the programmer.
+The goal of this work is to implement transactional boosting in E-STM and Microbench (both available at http://lpd.epfl.ch/gramoli/php/estm.php) to compare these two techniques on the benchmark-suite of Microbench.
