Transactions as the Foundation of a Memory Consistency Model
We argue that traditional synchronization objects, such as locks, conditions, and atomic/volatile variables, should be defined in terms of transactions, rather than the other way ...

Verifying Local Transformations on Relaxed Memory Models
The problem of locally transforming or translating programs without altering their semantics is central to the construction of correct compilers. For concurrent shared-memory progr...

Verification of chip multiprocessor memory systems using a relaxed scoreboard
Verification of chip multiprocessor memory systems remains challenging. While formal methods have been used to validate protocols, simulation is still the dominant method used to ...

The Impact of Memory Models on Software Reliability in Multiprocessors
The memory consistency model is a fundamental system property characterizing a multiprocessor. The relative merits of strict versus relaxed memory models have been widely debated ...

Runtime checking of serializability in software transactional memory
Abstract--Ensuring the correctness of complex implementations of software transactional memory (STM) is a daunting task. Attempts have been made to formally verify STMs, but these ...
