Strong Memory Model
Understand the strong memory model in C++ atomics by learning the principles of sequential consistency. This lesson explains how atomic operations maintain source order and global order across threads, ensuring predictable execution in concurrent programs. Explore practical examples to see how these guarantees influence synchronization and multithreaded behavior.
We'll cover the following...
Atomics are the base of the C++ memory model. By default, the strong version of the memory model is applied to the atomics; therefore, it makes a lot of sense to understand the features of the strong memory model. You can see from the subsection on Contract: The Challenges, with the strong memory model I refer to sequential consistency, and with the weak memory model I refer to ...
