System-Level Weak Memory Models: The Need for Formalisation, ISA Semantics Integration and Model Diversity

Explore system-level weak memory models in this 19-minute conference talk presented at FOWM'24 by Thibaut Pérami. Delve into the critical aspects of formalisation, integration of ISA semantics, and the importance of model diversity in weak memory systems. Gain insights into the complexities of modern computer architecture and the challenges faced in ensuring consistent memory behavior across different systems.
