Hello..
Read this:
Read the following interesting webpage:
Memory Models: x86 is TSO, TSO is Good
Essentially, the conclusion is that x86 in practice implements the old
SPARC TSO memory model.
The big take-away from the talk for me is that it confirms the
observation made may times before that SPARC TSO seems to be the optimal
memory model. It is sufficiently understandable that programmers can
write correct code without having barriers everywhere. It is
sufficiently weak that you can build fast hardware implementation that
can scale to big machines.
