Well-defined memory consistency models are necessary for writing correct parallel software. Developing and understanding formal specifications of hardware memory models is a chal...
We define external memory (or I/O) models which capture space complexity and develop a general technique for deriving I/O-space trade-offs in these models from internal memory mode...
—Multithreaded servers with cache-coherent shared memory are the dominant type of machines used to run critical network services and database management systems. To achieve the h...
The Java memory model described in Chapter 17 of the Java Language Specification gives constraints on how threads interact through memory. The Java memory model is hard to interp...
