litmus-tests-x86
This litmus-tests-x86 repository contains a modest set of litmus tests for x86, principally for those learning about relaxed-memory concurrency. It only exercises some of the basics: loads, stores, and mfences.
These litmus tests have been automatically generated using the diy7 and diyone test generators from the diy tool suite http://diy.inria.fr. The tests are in the form used both by that tool suite (which also includes the litmus tool for running tests on hardware and the herd tool for running tests in axiomatic models) and by the rmem tool http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/pes20/rmem, for running tests in operational models.
The tests are distributed subject to the BSD 2-clause licence in LICENCE.
This work has been partly supported by the ERC Advanced Grant ELVER, 789108.
