Performance Evaluation of Memory Consistency Models for Shared Memory Multiprocessors
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor architecture determines the amount of buffering and pipelining that may be used to hide or reduce the latency of memory ...

Completely verifying memory consistency of test program executions
An important means of validating the design of commercial-grade shared memory multiprocessors is to run a large number of pseudo-random test programs on them. However, when intent...

Two Techniques to Enhance the Performance of Memory Consistency Models
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor directly affects its performance. Thus, several attempts have been made to relax the consistency models to allow for mor...
