Location
read moreAbstract
Many-core concurrent programming offers exciting and compelling advantages. The single-core, single-thread programming model is assumed by imperative programming languages. This model offers sequential consistency as its fundamental characteristic. Because many-core systems use layered cache memory systems, sequential consistency …
