In current Chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), a significant portion of the die is consumed by the last-level cache. Until recently, the balance of cache and core space has been primari...

Memory models like SC, TSO, and PC enforce load-load ordering, requiring that loads from any single thread appear to occur in program order to all other threads. Out-of-order execu...
