They are
used with SharedArrayBuffer objects.
The Atomic operations are installed on an Atomics module. Unlike the
other global objects, Atomics is not a constructor. You cannot use it with
a new operator or invoke the Atomics object as a function. All properties
and methods of Atomics are static (as is the case with the Math object, for
example).
Properties
Atomics[Symbol.toStringTag]
The value of this property is "Atomics".
Methods
Atomic operations
When memory is shared, multiple threads can read and write the same
data in memory. Atomic operations make sure that predictable values are
written and read, that operations are finished before the next operation
starts and that operations are not interrupted.
Atomics.add()
Adds a given value at a given position in the array. Returns the old value
at that position.
Atomics.and()
Computes a bitwise AND at a given position in the array. Returns the old
value at that position.
Atomics.compareExchange()
Stores a given value at a given position in the array, if it equals a given
value. Returns the old value.
Atomics.exchange()
Stores a given value at a given position in the array. Returns the old value.
Atomics.load()
Returns the value at the given position in the array.
Atomics.or()
Computes a bitwise OR at a given position in the array. Returns the old
value at that position.
Atomics.store()
Stores a given value at the given position in the array. Returns the value.
Atomics.sub()
Subtracts a given value at a given position in the array. Returns the old
value at that position.
Atomics.xor()
Computes a bitwise XOR at a given position in the array. Returns the old
value at that position.
Atomics.isLockFree(size)
An optimization primitive that can be used to determine whether to
use locks or atomic operations. Returns true, if an atomic operation
on arrays of the given element size will be implemented using a
hardware atomic operation (as opposed to a lock). Experts only.
