RMO (Release Consistency Model)

The Release Consistency Model (RCM) is a method used in parallel computing to manage how multiple processors access shared data. It ensures that changes made by one processor are visible to others in an organized way, using specific signals called "release" and "acquire." When a processor finishes updating data, it issues a "release" statement, indicating it’s done. Others must perform an "acquire" before seeing these updates. This approach improves efficiency by allowing processors to work independently while maintaining data consistency, optimizing performance without sacrificing correctness.
