Abstract
An article of manufacture includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium. The medium includes instructions. The instructions, when read and executed by a processor, cause the processor to determine that a first input instruction in a code stream to be executed is to perform a read-modify-write operation, determine that the first input instruction is to target a memory location, and, based on a determination that the first input instruction is to perform the read-modify-write operation and the determination that the first input instruction is to target the memory location, convert the first input instruction to a second input instruction to target the memory location with a mask to cause an atomic operation to implement the read-modify-write operation.
