A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence, Second Edition

Show other versions (2)

Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the ar...
