Under the C++0x memory model, the acquire and release operations here serve no purpose --- there are no stores prior to the releases, so there is no imposed ordering, and they might as well all be memory_order_relaxed. The above code is thus equivalent to the code below, as far as the C++0x memory model goes, and the compiler would be conforming if it compiled it as such: /***************/ // Initially atomic<int> x(0), y(0); // Thread 1: y.store(1, memory_order_relaxed); atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); r1 = x.load(memory_order_relaxed); // Thread 2: x.store(1, memory_order_relaxed); // Thread 3: r2 = x.load(memory_order_relaxed); atomic_thread_fence(memory_order_seq_cst); r3 = y.load(memory_order_relaxed); /***************/ I am not an expert on IA-64, but I would expect a relaxed write on IA-64 to be plain ST --- an unordered write --- and a relaxed load to be a plain LD --- an unordered read. Given that, the total ordering of WB releases is not relevant here, and I suspect that r1 == 0 && r2 == 1 && r3 == 0 is possible.
