Understanding the Processor (Atomics & Locks Chapter 7)

This session, we walk through Chapter 7: Understanding the Processor. The chapter builds on everything we have covered so far, and dives a little deeper in the processor, which underpins the atomic primitives we use. To get the most out of these sessions, reading the chapter before hand is recommended, but not required.
