- We have implemented a C++ library called Flock based on the ideas. Flock allows lock-based data structures to run in either lock-free or blocking (traditional locks) mode. We implemented a variety of tree and list-based data structures with Flock and compare the performance of the lock-free and blocking modes under a variety of workloads. The lock-free mode is almost as fast as blocking mode under almost all workloads, and significantly faster when threads are over-subscribed (more threads than processors). We also compare with several existing lock-based and lock-free alternatives.

- 2015 SIGPLAN John C. Reynolds Doctoral Dissertation award citation: "Mark Batty’s dissertation makes significant contributions to the understanding of memory models for C and C++. The ISO C++ committee proposed a design for C and C++ concurrency that was not up to the task of capturing a realistic relaxed-memory concurrency model. Batty’s work uncovered a number of subtle and serious flaws in the design, and produced an improved design in completely rigorous and machine-checked mathematics. Using software tools to explore the consequences of the design, derived directly from the mathematics, it showed that it has the desired behavior on many examples, and developed mechanized proofs that the design meets some of the original goals, showing that for programs in various subsets of the language one can reason in simpler models. The standards committee have adopted this work in their C11, C++11, and C++14 standards. The members of the award committee were impressed with the quality of the work, the impact it has had on the standardization process for C++, and the clarity of the presentation."

- "what should be the consistency model of the heterogeneous machine? We call our answer to this question a compound memory model. A compound memory model is not a new memory model; it is a compositional amalgamation where, informally speaking, threads from each device continue to adhere to the memory ordering rules of that device’s original memory model."
- "we present a compositional operational model describing the resulting model when devices with distinct consistency models are fused together. We instantiate our model with the compound x86TSO/PTX model -- a CPU enforcing x86TSO and a GPU enforcing the PTX model. A key result is that the x86TSO/PTX compound model retains compiler mappings from the language-based (scoped) C memory model. This means that threads mapped to the x86TSO device can continue to use the already proven C-to-x86TSO compiler mapping, and the same for PTX."

In this work, we describe the "proxy" extensions added to version 7.5 of NVIDIA's PTX ISA for GPUs. A proxy is an extra tag abstractly applied to every memory or fence operation. Proxies generalize the notion of address translation and specialized non-coherent cache hierarchies into an abstraction that cleanly describes the resulting non-standard behavior. The goal of proxies is to facilitate integration of these specialized memory accesses into the general-purpose PTX programming model in a fully composable manner.

- Proposes the designation "Weak DRF0 (WDRF0)" for the C++ memory model: "C/C++ has settled for a memory model weaker than DRF0, which we call Weak DRF0 (WDRF0). DRF programs are not guaranteed SC semantics in WDRF0. To get SC, programmers have to additionally avoid the use of the so-called low-level atomic primitives. The weak semantics of DRF programs in C++ is similar in complexity to the semantics of non-DRF programs in Java."
