This lecture delves into the formalization of memory models, which serve as a bridge between a programmer's expectations and a system's actual behavior when interacting with shared memory. It covers rules for visibility, special operations like atomics and volatiles, and the value returned by reads, addressing assumptions for program optimization while ensuring correctness.
