Hello

How does _mm_mwait from pmmintrin.h works? (I mean not the asm for it, but action and how this action is taken in NUMA systems. The store monitoring is easy to implement only on bus-based SMP systems with snooping of bus.)

What processors does implement it?

Is it used in some spinlocks?

What is the correct pattern for doing an atomic "UPSERT" (UPDATE where exists, INSERT otherwise) in SQL Server 2005?

I want to verify that my understanding is correct. This kind of thing is tricky so I'm almost sure I am missing something. I have a program consisting of a real-time thread and a non-real-time thread. I want the non-RT thread to be able to swap a pointer to memory that is used by the RT thread… >>> More

Are the "modify" operators like +=, |=, &= etc atomic? I know ++ is atomic (if you perform x++; in two different threads "simultaneously", you will always end up with x increased by 2, as opposed to x=x+1 with optimization switched off.) What I wonder is whether variable |= constant, and the… >>> More
Why is the volatile qualifier used through out std::atomic?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
From what I've read from Herb Sutter and others you would think that volatile and concurrent programming were completely orthogonal concepts, at least as far as C/C++ are concerned. However, in GCC c++0x extension all of std::atomic's member functions have the volatile qualifier. The same is true… >>> More
