One approach in verifying the correctness of a multiprocessor system is to show that its execution results comply with the memory consistency model it is meant to implement. It ha...
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...

We introduce dag consistency, a relaxed consistency model for distributed shared memory which is suitable for multithreaded programming. We have implemented dag consistency in sof...

Abstract. Introducing a monitor on a system typically changes the system's behaviour by slowing the system down and increasing memory consumption. This may possibly result in ...

Conventional relaxed memory ordering techniques follow a proactive model: at a synchronization point, a processor makes its own updates to memory available to other processors by ...
