Abstract. Real multiprocessors do not provide the sequentially consistent memory that is assumed by most work on semantics and verification. Instead, they have relaxed memory mode...
Advances in circuit and integration technology are continuously boosting the speed of microprocessors. One of the main challenges presented by such developments is the effective u...
We develop a rigorous semantics for Power and ARM multiprocessor programs, including their relaxed memory model and the behaviour of reasonable fragments of their instruction sets...
