Memory model

Memory order was a mystery for me for a long time. I have heard about it for the first time when I was reading first edition of C++ Concurrency in Action (in Polish). I used std::memory_order maybe few times as a training and never came back. Last year, when I was reading Rust Atomics and Locks I found this topic was described quite well in this book.

Memory order, memory consistency and coherence are topics that are not covered in most programming books. Higher level languages often don't provide any way to instruct compiler/CPU on memory order rules. I think this topic is quite interesting and I'm currently studying it. My current lecture is A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence, Second Edition, however I also recommend:

• Rust Atomics and Locks by Mara Bos
• C++ Concurrency in Action, 2nd Edition by Anthony Williams

What I'm planning to look through:

• Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?
• [Memory Order Guarantees in Go](https://go101.org/article/memory-model.html0
