Abstract

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a memory fence in a thread, adds a group identifier to one or more memory operations in the thread that follow the memory fence, and sends the one or more memory operations and the group identifier to a memory structure. In one example, the group identifier is used to track completion of the one or more memory operations.
