Chasing Away RAts: Semantics and evaluation for relaxed atomics on heterogeneous systems

An unambiguous and easy-to-understand memory consistency model is crucial for ensuring correct synchronization and guiding future design of heterogeneous systems. In a widely adopted approach, the memory model guarantees sequential consistency (SC) as long as programmers obey certain rules. The popu...
