Abstract
We present an effect-based static analysis to calculate upper bounds on multithreaded and nested transactions as measure for the resource consumption in an execution model supporting implicit join synchronization. The analysis is compositional and takes into account implicit join synchronizations that arise when more than one thread jointly commit a transaction. Central for a compositional and precise analysis is to capture as part of the effects a tree-representation of the future resource consumption and synchronization points (which we call joining commit trees). The analysis is formalized for a concurrent variant of Featherweight Java extended by transactional constructs. We show the soundness of the analysis.
