| summary | AMD has recently introduced the Advanced Synchronization Facility (ASF), an experimental microprocessor extension that enables the construction of short atomic sections in hardware. These atomic sections can be used to flexibly create atomic read-modify-write constructs, such as double compare-and-exchange, using only a slightly extended instruction set. The presentation will show the key components of ASF and will highlight recent related activities at AMD. |
