Expand description
The Atomics
object provides atomic operations as static methods.
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).

Functions
- The static
Atomics.add()
method adds a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.add()
method adds a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.and()
method computes a bitwise AND with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.and()
method computes a bitwise AND with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.compareExchange()
method exchanges a given replacement value at a given position in the array, if a given expected value equals the old value. It returns the old value at that position whether it was equal to the expected value or not. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.compareExchange()
method exchanges a given replacement value at a given position in the array, if a given expected value equals the old value. It returns the old value at that position whether it was equal to the expected value or not. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.exchange()
method stores a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.exchange()
method stores a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.isLockFree()
method is used to determine whether to use locks or atomic operations. It returns true, if the given size is one of theBYTES_PER_ELEMENT
property of integerTypedArray
types. - The static
Atomics.load()
method returns a value at a given position in the array. - The static
Atomics.load()
method returns a value at a given position in the array. - The static
Atomics.notify()
method notifies up some agents that are sleeping in the wait queue. Note: This operation works with a sharedInt32Array
only. Ifcount
is not provided, notifies all the agents in the queue. - Notifies up to
count
agents in the wait queue. - The static
Atomics.or()
method computes a bitwise OR with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.or()
method computes a bitwise OR with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.store()
method stores a given value at the given position in the array and returns that value. - The static
Atomics.store()
method stores a given value at the given position in the array and returns that value. - The static
Atomics.sub()
method substracts a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.sub()
method substracts a given value at a given position in the array and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.wait()
method verifies that a given position in anInt32Array
still contains a given value and if so sleeps, awaiting a wakeup or a timeout. It returns a string which is either “ok”, “not-equal”, or “timed-out”. Note: This operation only works with a sharedInt32Array
and may not be allowed on the main thread. - The static
Atomics.wait()
method verifies that a given position in anInt32Array
still contains a given value and if so sleeps, awaiting a wakeup or a timeout. It returns a string which is either “ok”, “not-equal”, or “timed-out”. Note: This operation only works with a sharedInt32Array
and may not be allowed on the main thread. - Like
wait()
, but with timeout - Like
wait()
, but with timeout - The static
Atomics.xor()
method computes a bitwise XOR with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back. - The static
Atomics.xor()
method computes a bitwise XOR with a given value at a given position in the array, and returns the old value at that position. This atomic operation guarantees that no other write happens until the modified value is written back.
