A platform that supported Sequential Consistency (SC) for all codes --- not only the well-synchronized ones --- would simplify the task of programmers. Recently, several hardware architectures that support high-performance SC by committing groups of instructions at a time have been proposed. However, for a platform to support SC, it is insufficient that the hardware does; the compiler has to support SC as well.
