Is "atomic operations composition" a real term? Or it's something like "monolithic microservice"? What does that even mean?

Its a real term in the sense that it's a grammatically correct way of describing multiple atomic operations being composed together...

fn main() {

    use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicI64, Ordering};

    let some_var = AtomicI64::new(5);
    
    if some_var.load(Ordering::Relaxed) % 2 == 0 {
        some_var.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
    } else {
        some_var.fetch_add(2, Ordering::Relaxed);
    }
}
