Abstract
Maya is a platform for investigating the impact of different memory coherence protocols on parallel architectures. We present the implementations of several weak memory protocols, together with some new primitives dedicated to weak memories using Maya. The results of some user applications are summarized and the impact of weak memories on the efficiency of these parallel programs is discussed
