I understand why relaxing the ordering requirements can hide memory latency, but I'm having a bit of trouble imagining how you can leverage these in a real world application. What are some examples of where relaxed consistency is actually used?

@myeditha. Every Intel processor in the world performs the optimization on this slide! One good example of a common optimization is write buffering, as shown on slide 17.
