Editing Release consistency (section)

=== [[Processor consistency]] ===
For processor consistency, all processes see writes from each processor in the order they were initiated.  Writes from different processors may not be seen in the same order, except that writes to the same location will be seen in the same order everywhere. Compared to processor consistency, release consistency is more relaxed because it does not enforce the ordering between stores that happens in processor consistency.  It doesn't follow programmers' intuition as it is relatively less restrictive to compiler optimizations.
