Programming with shared data in loosely coupled parallel architectures is generally supported by a software layer that simulates a unique memory. The great number of coherence operations needed to maintain the perfect abstraction of a physically shared memory often leads to performance degradation. To reverse this, researchers have proposed alternative memory consistency models that impose fewer constraints on the order of memory accesses. Unfortunately, reasoning with these new models is difficult, often requiring programmers to be aware of the distributed nature of the memory. The choice of a memory consistency model is hence a contract between performance and programmability. These two factors depend on how much complexity the user is re...
