STM
- noun
- Specialized
:
MST
- The STM simplifies multithreaded code by allowing operations to execute atomically without using locks.
- tunneling STM
- STM image
- STM microscope
Examples
-
With STM, programmers can manage concurrency efficiently by ensuring that transactions occur in isolation.
-
Developers prefer using STM in applications where multiple threads must access shared memory safely.
-

Etymology
STM in programming stands for Software Transactional Memory, and transactional comes from 'transaction', meaning 'a group of actions done together', as in a bank transfer. So STM makes several steps in computer memory happen together and safely, which helps programmers avoid complex locks.
