<para>
<function>atomicAdd</function> performs an atomic addition of <parameter>data</parameter> to the contents of
<parameter>mem</parameter> and returns the original contents of <parameter>mem</parameter>
from before the addition occured. The contents of the memory being updated by the atomic operation are
guaranteed not to be modified by any other assignment or atomic memory function in any shader
invocation between the time the original value is read and the time the new value is written.
</para>
<para>
Atomic memory functions are supported only for a limited set of variables. A shader will fail to compile
if the value passed to the mem argument of an atomic memory function does not correspond to a buffer or
shared variable. It is acceptable to pass an element of an array or a single component of a vector to the
mem argument of an atomic memory function, as long as the underlying array or vector is a buffer or
shared variable.
