Weak Memory Models with Matching Axiomatic and Operational Definitions
Sizhuo Zhang, Muralidaran Vijayaraghavan, Dan Lustig +1
Memory consistency models are notorious for being difficult to define precisely, to reason about, and to verify. More than a decade of effort has gone into nailing down the definit…
Weak Memory Models: Balancing Definitional Simplicity and Implementation Flexibility
Sizhuo Zhang, Muralidaran Vijayaraghavan, Arvind
The memory model for RISC-V, a newly developed open source ISA, has not been finalized yet and thus, offers an opportunity to evaluate existing memory models. We believe RISC-V sho…
An Operational Framework for Specifying Memory Models using Instantaneous Instruction Execution
Sizhuo Zhang, Muralidaran Vijayaraghavan, Arvind
There has been great progress recently in formally specifying the memory model of microprocessors like ARM and POWER. These specifications are, however, too complicated for reasoni…
