Paketinformationen
This package provides semi-portable access to hardware provided
atomic memory operations. These might allow you to write code:
* That does more interesting things in signal handlers.
* Makes more effective use of multiprocessors by allowing you to
write clever lock-free code. Note that such code is very difficult
to get right, and will unavoidably be less portable than lock-based
code. It ia also not always faster than lock-based code. But it may
occasionally be a large performance win.
* To experiment with new and much better thread programming
paradigms, etc.
For details and licensing restrictions see the files in the doc
subdirectory.
