Abstract
Atomic instructions, including a Compare And Swap Register, a Load and AND Register, and a Load and OR Register instruction, use registers instead of storage to communicate and share information in a multi-threaded processor. The registers are accessible to multiple threads of the multi-threaded processor, and the instructions operate on these shared registers. Access to the shared registers is controlled by the instructions via interlocking.
