provide tools or abstractions that allow developers to program in parallel. But what hardware do we need to support shared memory threads? The hardware should provide a well-defin...
Abstract. Simple and unified non-operational specifications of the three memory consistency models Total Store Ordering (TSO), Partial Store Ordering (PSO), and Relaxed Memory Orde...
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 ...

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...
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...
