Emerging nonvolatile memory technologies (NVRAM) promise the performance of DRAM
with the persistence of disk. However, constraining NVRAM write order, necessary to ensure …

Systems featuring a load-store interface to persistent memory (PM) are expected soon,
making in-memory persistent data structures feasible. Ensuring persistent data structure …

The commercial release of byte-addressable persistent memories, such as Intel/Micron 3D
XPoint memory, is imminent. Ongoing research has sought mechanisms to allow …

We addresses the problem of automatic verification and fence inference in concurrent
programs running under relaxed memory models. Modern architectures implement relaxed …

Sequential consistency (SC) is arguably the most intuitive behavior for a shared-memory
multithreaded program. It is widely accepted that language-level SC could significantly …

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory technology is emerging as an alternative for DRAM
for main memory. This new Non-Volatile Main Memory (NVMM) allows programmers to store …

Memory consistency models (MCMs) which govern inter-module interactions in a shared
memory system, are a significant, yet often under-appreciated, aspect of system design …

Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture
the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher …

Emerging persistent memory (PM) technologies promise the performance of DRAM with the
