- This paper devised for the first time a complete and comprehensive formal model for programming concurrent programs on the ARMv8.2 and ARMv7 architecture. While ARMv8.3 and later had a different memory model, ARMv7 remains commercially important in mobile devices. Even more importantly, this work catalysed the work of lots of other researchers studying (among others): the Linux kernel memory model; what the C and C++ memory models should become; verification of operating system and hypervisor code; and verification of concurrent garbage collection.
