I read an interesting article by John M. Dlugosz titled "An Atomic Counter for Guaranteed Thread Safety" and was wondering if anyone was using this technique in their x86 SMP chess program. The article can be found in MSDN under Periodicals 1998/Visual C++ Developer/August. Since these techniques only appear to work for certain data types, I would assume that other techniques must also be used. What other techniques are being used? Also, this article implies that this works with multiple processors, but did not come right out and say it. This article also allows you to download source examples. And, some information can be found at: http://www.dlugosz.com/Repertoire/ KarinsDad :)
