### Hardware primitives
Atomic R/W registers provide quite a basic computational model.
We can strenghten the model by adding specialized HW primitives, that essentially perform in an atomic way the combination of some atomic instructions.
Usually, every operating system provides at least one specilized HW primitive.
##### Most common ones:
