The simplest answer: you must use one of 3 fences ( LFENCE , SFENCE , MFENCE ) to provide one of 6 data Consistency: Relaxed; Consume; Acquire; Release; Acquire-Release; Sequential. C++11: Initially, you should consider this problem from the point of view of the degree of order of memory access,
Description. Performs a serializing operation on all store-to-memory instructions that were issued prior the SFENCE instruction. This serializing operation guarantees that every store instruction that precedes in program order the SFENCE instruction is globally visible before any store instruction that follows the SFENCE
Description. Performs a serializing operation on all load-from-memory and store-to-memory instructions that were issued prior the MFENCE instruction. This serializing operation guarantees that every load and store instruction that precedes in program order the MFENCE instruction is globally visible before any load or store
Description. Performs a serializing operation on all load-from-memory instructions that were issued prior the LFENCE instruction. This serializing operation guarantees that every load instruction that precedes in program order the LFENCE instruction is globally visible before any load instruction that follows the LFENCE
You probably mis-understand semantics of x86 fences. SFENCE is of any use ONLY if you use non-temporal store instructions (e.g. MOVNTI). And LFENCE is completely useless, it's basically a no-op. MFENCE of any use ONLY is you are trying to order critical store-load sequence. As far as I see, there is
5 Nov 2008 Loads and stores are not reordered with locked instructions. The x86 also has (expensive–on the order of 100 cycles) memory fence instructions, mfence, lfence, and sfence; but, considering all those guarantees, why would anyone use them? The famous double-checked locking pattern, on the x86, works
24 Jul 2006 Dear all,. Does anyone have a readable document, or alternatively source which demonstrates when and where sfence, lfence and mfence instructions are required for programming atomic operations on P4 and 686? I have heard conflicting reports that the fence instructions are not required on SMP P4,
4 Dec 2009 Click here for a PDF of this post with nicer formatting] Motivation. In my recent post about memory barriers and atomics(or the PDF version here), I stated a number of times that x86 (or x86-64) was among the platforms that provided strongly ordered memory access. I have an old friend, we'll call him Joe
That said, the following paragraph offers a glimpse of some memory barriers which exist in contemporary products. Some architectures, including the ubiquitous x86/x64, provide several memory barrier instructions including an instruction sometimes called "full fence". A full fence ensures that all load and store operations
Performs a serializing operation on all load-from-memory and store-to-memory instructions that were issued prior the MFENCE instruction. This serializing operation guarantees that every load and store instruction that precedes the MFENCE instruction in program order becomes globally visible before any load or store
