Fences in Weak Memory Models
We present a class of relaxed memory models, defined in Coq, parameterised by the chosen permitted local reorderings of reads and writes, and the visibility of inter- and intra-pr...

Reducing Memory Ordering Overheads in Software Transactional Memory
—Most research into high-performance software transactional memory (STM) assumes that transactions will run on a processor with a relatively strict memory model, such as Total St...

Making Sequential Consistency Practical in Titanium
The memory consistency model in parallel programming controls the order in which operations performed by one thread may be observed by another. Language designers have been reluct...

Dynamic synthesis for relaxed memory models
Modern architectures implement relaxed memory models which may reorder memory operations or execute them non-atomically. Special instructions called memory fences are provided, al...

DRFX: a simple and efficient memory model for concurrent programming languages
The most intuitive memory model for shared-memory multithreaded programming is sequential consistency (SC), but it disallows the use of many compiler and hardware optimizations th...
