Remarks on Memory Consistency Description

Abstract

Two observations in the matter of pictorial as well as formal presentation of some consistency in distributed shared memory are made. The first concerns geometric transformation of line segments and points picturing read/write operations, the second converting partial order of the operations into linear order of their initiations and terminations. This allows to reduce serialization of the read/write operations as a whole to permutations of their beginnings and ends. Some draft proposals are introduced.
