Posted by Ylian Saint-Hilaire on 23 Jul 1998, 8:27 AM

I programmed and released I simple Java Application at:

Click on "Speed Discovery", the source is also given. If I could find a atomic Java operation that I could execute without "synchronize", it would be useful to speedup the application. In my sample, I assume that A=(++B) is atomic, witch is not... Is there some other way? a exchange operation?.
