What do you mean by Atomic instructions? How does the following become Atomic? TestAndSet int TestAndSet(int *x){ register int temp = *x; *x = 1; return temp; } From a software perspective, if one does not want to use non-blocking synchronization primitives, how can one ensure Atomicity of instruction? is it possible only at Hardware or some assembly level directive optimization can be used?
