From Total Store Order to Sequential Consistency: A Practical Reduction Theorem · Reasoning about the Implementation of Concurrency Abstractions on x86-TSO.

Abstract. When verifying a concurrent program, it is usual to assume that memory is sequentially consistent. However, most modern multiprocessors depend on ...

eral reduction theorem that allows each processor to always treat store buffers of other processors as empty, and its own store buffer as empty except for brief.

We present a new discipline for concurrent programming under TSO (total store order, with store buffer forwarding). It does not depend on concurrency primitives ...
