Improved implementations of binary universal operations.

We present an algorithm for implementing binary operations (of any type) from unary load-linked (LL) and store-conditional (SC) operations. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated according to its sensitivity, measuring the distance between operations in the graph induced by conflicts, which g...
