Does anyone have a good introduction to (atomic) memory access models? I keep hearing terms such as "relaxed and "acquire", but I have no idea what they mean.

Can you give a quick recap in which areas those terms are relevant for someone who can’t even place “atomic memory access“

Multi-threaded memory access. Atomics are the building blocks (assembly instructions) which you can use to implement something like a mutex. Memory ordering rules govern which guarantees the atomics provide.
