Repository Overview (README excerpt)
Crawler viewThis is herdtools7, a tool suite to test weak memory models. We provide the following tools: • herd7: a generic simulator for weak memory models • litmus7: run litmus tests (given as assembler programs for Power, ARM, AArch64 or X86) to test the memory model of the executing machine • diy7: produce litmus tests from concise specifications • some additional tools In particular, • mcompare7 to analyse run logs of both herd and litmus. • klitmus7, an experimental tool, similar to litmus7 that runs kernel memory model tests as kernel modules. The tool klitmus7 is inspired from a python script by Andrea Parri,. herdtools7 is the successor of the diy tool suite.
