Wikipedia definition
1. Fetch-and-addIn computer science, the fetch-and-add CPU instruction is a special instruction that atomically modifies the contents of a memory location. It is used to implement mutual exclusion and concurrent algorithms in multiprocessor systems, a generalization of semaphores. In uniprocessor systems, it is sufficient to disable interrupts before accessing a critical section.
