Maybe I need to elaborate. The RISC-V foundation is currently working to strictly define both strong and weak cache coherency modes, and a separate formal verification group is working to define and validate a formal model of cache coherency behavior for the RISC-V ISA. There have been numerous updates on this project at the past couple of RISC-V workshops. When this is all done, ensuring a given implementation is bug-free with respect to cache coherency will be a mechanical process (at least, that is the goal).


You are confusing memory consistency with cache coherency.


On a multi-core system it applies to both.
