We present Lilac-TM, the first locality-aware Distributed Software\nTransactional Memory (DSTM) implementation. Lilac-TM is a fully decentralized\nlease-based replicated DSTM. It employs a novel self- optimizing lease\ncirculation scheme based on the idea of dynamically determining whether to\nmigrate transactions to the nodes that own the leases required for their\nvalidation, or to demand the acquisition of these leases by the node that\noriginated the transaction. Our experimental evaluation establishes that\nLilac-TM provides significant performance gains for distributed workloads\nexhibiting data locality, while typically incurring no overhead for non-data\nlocal workloads.\n
