Talk:Processor consistency

Is Example 3 really not causally consistent?
The article claims that execution in Example 3 is not causally consistent. Is it so? W(x)2 in P2 is indeed caused by R(x)1 in P2, but other processors don't see them in different order. The execution would not be causally consistent if P3 or P4 observed R(x)2 R(x)1, but it would be not PC as well. Seems like also noticed it and tried to fix, but  rolled it back since the new execution failed to be cache coherent. What's the intended example? --188.170.73.110 (talk) 08:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
