    Cores 1 and 2 independently set variables x and y to 1 and 2, respectively. Cores 3 and 4 then attempt to read both variables to perform calculations for w and z. However, the order of operations is non-deterministic in an SMP, so w could equal 1, 2, 3 or 4, and z could equal 1, 2 or 3, depending on whether the reads from Cores 3 and 4 occur before or after the writes from Cores 1 and 2. Making the code synchronized would make the execution order deterministic and produce a single result.

    Workshop Week 13.

    Consider the following portions of two different programs running at the same time on four
    processors in a ​symmetric multicore processor ​(SMP). Assume that before this code is run, both
    x and y are 0.

    Core 1: x = 1;

    Core 2: y = 2;

    Core 3: w = x + y + 1;

    Core 4: z = x + y;

    ● What are all the possible resulting values of ​w,x,y, ​and ​z​? For each possible outcome,
    explain how we might arrive at those values. You will need to ​show​ all possible
    interleavings of instructions.
    ● How could you make the execution more deterministic so that only one set of values is
    possible?
