==Original Abstract Submitted==

techniques are disclosed relating to smashing atomic operations. in some embodiments, cache control circuitry caches data values in cache storage circuitry and receive multiple requests to atomically update a cached data value according to one or more arithmetic operations. the control circuitry may perform updates to a cached data value based on the multiple requests, in response to determining that the one or more arithmetic operations meet one or more criteria and store operation information that indicates a most-recent requested atomic arithmetic operation for the updated data value. the control circuitry may, in response to an event, flush, to a higher level in a memory hierarchy that includes the cache storage circuitry both: the updated data value and the operation information. this may advantageously smash atomic operations at the cache and reduce operations to the higher-level cache or memory (which may be the actual coherence point for atomic requests).
