In this paper, we reevaluate speculative memory ordering in the context of Chip Multi-Processors (CMPs) and power-limited computation. We evaluate relative performance between Sequential Consistency, Total Store Order and Relaxed Memory Order on a selection of modern workloads to predict the performance of the ARM weakly consistent memory model.Memory orderingmemory consistency modelsthe ARM weakly consistent memory modelWhen the ARM weakly consistent memory model meets speculation: is it necessary?student work::semester or other student projects
