Provides an overview of computer architecture, focusing on the von Neumann architecture and its components, including the CPU and memory management units.
Explores memory consistency, cache coherence, and relaxed models in modern CPUs, emphasizing the balance between strict ordering and flexible memory operations.
Explores memory consistency in multiprocessor systems, discussing coherence, consistency models, and the trade-offs between ordering constraints and performance.
Explores synchronization principles using locks and barriers, emphasizing efficient hardware-supported implementations and coordination mechanisms like OpenMP.
