# core.atomic

The atomic module is intended to provide some basic support for lock-free concurrent programming. Some common operations are defined, each of which may be performed using the specified memory barrier or a less granular barrier if the hardware does not support the version requested. This model is based on a design by Alexander Terekhov as outlined in this thread. Another useful reference for memory ordering on modern architectures is this article by Paul McKenney.
