We present a non-operational approach to specifying and analyzing shared memory consistency models. The method uses higher order logic to capture a complete set of ordering constra...

To protect processor logic from soft errors, multicore redundant architectures execute two copies of a program on separate cores of a chip multiprocessor (CMP). Maintaining identi...

The verification of an execution against memory consistency is known to be NP-hard. This paper proposes a novel fast memory consistency verification method by identifying a new na...

Most Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) implementations choose fixed version and conflict management policies at design time. While eager HTM systems store transactional state in-...

Current on-chip block-centric memory hierarchies exploit access patterns at the fine-grain scale of small blocks. Several recently proposed techniques for coherence traffic reduct...
