In this wiki we seek to perform a survey of memory consistency models in modern microprocessors. We will begin by giving a brief synopsis of what memory consistency is and how it can be achieved. We will also discuss some legacy systems that utilized some initial consistency models and then discuss how those models evolved into more sophisticated versions in more recent years. After we have this foundation we will move into more advanced architectures and implementations typically seen today. This will include an investigation on what conditions certain memory models are used more often as opposed to others. We will complete our discussion by taking a look at the direction memory models are expected to take in the near future. | |||

Introduction
In this wiki we seek to perform a survey of memory consistency models in modern microprocessors. We will begin by giving a brief synopsis of what memory consistency is and how it can be achieved. We will also discuss some legacy systems that utilized some initial consistency models and then discuss how those models evolved into more sophisticated versions in more recent years. After we have this foundation we will move into more advanced architectures and implementations typically seen today. This will include an investigation on what conditions certain memory models are used more often as opposed to others. We will complete our discussion by taking a look at the direction memory models are expected to take in the near future.
What is Memory Consistency
How Memory Consistency Used to be Done
How Has Memory Consistency Evolved
Implementations
High Powered Machines
Mobile Devices
Is There an in Between (Personal Business Class PC architectures)
Are These All Related (What is common and what is not between them)
Where Do We Go From Here
