Abstract
System and techniques for variable execution time atomic operations are described herein. When an atomic operation for a memory device is received, the run length of the operation is measured. If the run length is beyond a threshold, a cache line for the operation is locked while the operation runs. A result of the operation is queued until it can be written to the cache line. At that point, the cache line is unlocked.
