Estimate the Memory Bounds Required by Shared Variables in Software Transactional Memory Programs

Estimating memory required by complex programs is a well-known research topic. In this work, we build a type system to statically estimate the memory bounds required by shared variables in software transactional memory (STM) programs. This work extends our previous works with additional language features such as explicitly declared shared variables, introduction of primitive types, and allowing loop body to contain any statement, not required to be well-typed as in our previous works. Also, the new type system has better compositionality compared to available type systems.
