- This paper introduces a novel take on memory consistency models in the context of modern computers, in particular graphics processing units (GPUs). The work was in part funded by AMD research. The work forms the foundation of later work that lead to its adoption in the Open Computer standard, OpenCL (https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/opencl-2.0.pdf), developed by the standards body Khronos (https://www.khronos.org/). The work continues to impact programming language design, in particular, the popular programming language C++ is adapting its parallel algorithms for heterogeneous architectures.
