Hello.. 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. Read more here: https://jakob.engbloms.se/archives/1435 Thank you, Amine Moulay Ramdane.
