More complex synchronization mechanisms can be created from this primitive operation.

He followed Dingler in building up geometry and physics out of primitive operations.

At this stage the program can be fleshed out by hanging various primitive operations off the elements of the structure.

Basic actions are the primitive operations which change state in the search space.

Systems are otherwise specified down to the level at which the designer is prepared to trust the primitive operations supported by the implementation environment.

By themselves the primitive operations do not necessarily provide any security.

The easiest way to achieve linearizability is running groups of primitive operations in a critical section.

Since this is a primitive operation, we'll try not to use more than one machine at a time.

The primitive operations are here defined in terms of Java (or C).

They also showed a limitation of the model to commands with only one primitive operation to render the problem decidable.
