Probably "A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence"

  Hi, would you recommend this book in 2024?

    FWIW, most of my recent knowledge on this topic comes from [0]. The programming-language-specific parts are more focused on C than C++ (which is my main focus), but I've still found it quite helpful. I haven't looked at the other sources people are mentioning though, so no idea how it compares.

        You're welcome! But it's not a quick read. At least for me, it requires (a) a good reason for powering through it, (b) a good night's sleep, and (c) Adderall :) Just saying, it may not be the most effective / efficient way to learn what you want to know.

        Ahaha, luckily /s I am a bit of a weirdo and I like to delve deeper into things related to my job. I was taught that a deeper understanding leads to better software/solutions and I strive to live up to my mentor dedication :)
