Talk:CSC/ECE 506 Spring 2014/10c gk

We propose the following changes to the wiki chapter on relaxed consistency models:

1. Rewrite the introduction and explain the need for memory consistency models
2. Introduce the issue of SC performance on a mobile platform like Android(ARM architecture)
3. Discuss in detail relaxed memory consistency models for mobile platforms like Android
4. Discuss how C++ provides low-level interfaces like atomics to synchronize memory accesses.
5. Remove links to references that are no longer available

6. Add more references to more recent scholarly articles

7. Add more diagrams and graphical analysis of system performance using the different models.

8. Some multi-choice exercises

Instructor comments

The planning document should have been submitted to Expertiza. A reviewer would not have known to look on the talk page.

You were supposed to provide a link to the previous version of the page.

The title, "Introduction to Sequential Consistency Model" is confusing. Why would you even need a heading here? Generally, there should not be two headings in a row. Just removing it would solve the problem.
