# Memory Model Analyzer

## Purpose

Provides expert guidance on analyzing concurrent programs under various hardware and language memory models.

## Capabilities

- Sequential consistency checking
- Total Store Order (TSO) analysis
- C/C++ memory model compliance
- Memory barrier insertion guidance
- Race condition detection
- Weak memory model reasoning

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Model Selection**: Identify relevant memory model
2. **Analysis**: Check program behavior under model
3. **Barrier Placement**: Determine required fences/barriers
4. **Race Detection**: Find data races
5. **Verification**: Verify correct synchronization
