PyPy's been working on this with its software transaction memory research. I'm curious whether this will result in analyzing the probabilistic chance of inconsistent writes/reads in code the development of algorithms that minimize them.
Edit: I should note, though, that STM still results in some determinism in code, it just causes sections to be re-run when they notice that their memory was changed underneath them. Edit#2: And he addresses the idea of probabilistic algorithms, too, cool! Neat article!
