CppMem: Atomics with a Relaxed Semantic

CppMem: Atomics with a Relaxed Semantic

This lesson gives an overview of atomics with a relaxed semantic used in the context of CppMem.

We'll cover the following...

With the relaxed semantic, we don’t have synchronization or ordering constraints on atomic operations; only the atomicity of the operations is guaranteed.
