Exploiting the multiprocessors that have recently become ubiquitous requires high-
performance and reliable concurrent systems code, for concurrent data structures, operating …

Real multiprocessors do not provide the sequentially consistent memory that is assumed by
most work on semantics and verification. Instead, they have relaxed memory models …

Multiprocessors are now dominant, but real multiprocessors do not provide the sequentially
consistent memory that is assumed by most work on semantics and verification. Instead, they …

We analyse the validity of several common program transformations in multi-threaded Java,
as defined by the Memory Model section of the Java Language Specification. The main …

We develop a rigorous semantics for Power and ARM multiprocessor programs, including
their relaxed memory model and the behaviour of reasonable fragments of their instruction …

With the rise of multi-core processors, shared-memory concurrency has become a
widespread feature of computation, from hardware, to operating systems, to programming …

Memory models are hard to reason about due to their complexity, which stems from the need
to strike a balance between ease-of-programming and allowing compiler and hardware …

Memory models define an interface between programs written in some language and their
implementation, determining which behaviour the memory (and thus a program) is allowed …

A verified compiler is an integral part of every security infrastructure. Previous work has
come up with formal semantics for sequential and concurrent variants of Java and has …

We give here a brief overview of the concepts that we will use throughout the manuscript.
We illustrate these concepts with related work that we enjoyed reading, and that helped our …
