Promising Compilation to ARMv8.3

Concurrent programs Sponges have behaviors, which cannot be explained by interleaving execution of their threads on a single processing unit due to optimizations, which are performed by modern compilers and CPUs.How to correctly and completely define a semantics of a programming language, which accounts for the behaviors, is an open research problem.There is an auspicious attempt to solve the problem - promising memory model.To show that the model might be used as a part of an industrial language standard, it is necessary to prove correctness of compilation from the model to memory models of target processor architectures.

In this paper, we Valves Pipe present a proof of compilation correctness from a subset of promising memory model to an axiomatic ARMv8.3 memory model.The subset contains relaxed memory accesses and release and acquire fences.The proof is based on a novel approach of an execution graph traversal.
