Consistency model for runtime objects in the Open Community Runtime.

Task-based runtime systems are seen as a way to deal with increasing heterogeneity and performance variability in modern high performance computing systems. The Open Community Runtime is an example of such runtime system, with the benefit of having an open specification that defines its interface and behavior. This allows others to study the design and create alternative implementations of the runtime system. However, it turns out that the consistency model that defines how the OCR programs are synchronized when executed in parallel is not sufficiently defined. In the following text, we complete the consistency model by filling in the missing pieces and extending the memory model given in the specification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
