[Gems-users] interpreting dumped ruby transactional memory stats

["Jim Leek" <jrleek@xxxxxxxxx>]

Running logTM with gems2.1 is giving me some odd stats in the dumps.  btree looks good (assuming it's really only supposed to do 96 transactions) but this is what cholesky gives me:

transactions_started: 0 [ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]
transactions_ended: 1 [ 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]

....

xact_aborts:        3148


Wow, I never ran a single transaction, but I aborted 3148 of them.  Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? Or am I misreading the stats somehow?  (cholesky isn't the only test to give me weird results like this, raytrace does as well.)

Thanks,
Jim
