Abstract:

TSO (Total Store Order) is the memory consistency model implemented by the x86 and x64 architectures. While for data-race-free programs the stronger SC (Sequential Consistency) memory consistency model can be assumed, some programs escape from the SC constraints for performance reasons. In this document we propose an approach for verifying programs under the TSO memory consistency model.
