+Provides implementations for atomic memory update operations
+on a number of architectures. This allows direct use of these
+in reasonably portable code. Unlike earlier similar packages,
+this one explicitly considers memory barrier semantics, and
+allows the construction of code that involves minimum overhead
+across a variety of architectures. \ No newline at end of file
