首先介绍一下什么是Compare And Swap(CAS)？简单的说就是比较并交换。
CAS 操作包含三个操作数 —— 内存位置(V)、预期原值(A)和新值(B)。如果内存位置的值与预期原值相匹配，那么处理器会自动将该位置值更新为新值。否则，处理器不做任何操作。无论哪种情况，它都会在 CAS 指令之前返回该位置的值。CAS 有效地说明了“我认为位置 V 应该包含值 A；如果包含该值，则将 B 放到这个位置；否则，不要更改该位置，只告诉我这个位置现在的值即可。” Java并发包(java.util.concurrent)中大量使用了CAS操作,涉及到并发的地方都调用了sun.misc.Unsafe类方法进行CAS操作。
在看一下volatile, Volatile修饰的成员变量在每次被线程访问时，都强迫从共享内存中重读该成员变量的值。而且，当成员变量发生变化时，强迫线程将变化值回写到共享内存。这样在任何时刻，两个不同的线程总是看到某个成员变量的值是相同的，更简单一点理解就是volatile修饰的变量值发生变化时对于另外的线程是可见的。
如何正确使用volatile可以参考下面这篇文章：
下面来看看java中具体的CAS操作类sun.misc.Unsafe。Unsafe类提供了硬件级别的原子操作，Java无法直接访问到操作系统底层(如系统硬件等)，为此Java使用native方法来扩展Java程序的功能。具体实现使用c++,详见文件sun.misc.natUnsafe.cc();sun.misc包的源代码可以在这里找到：
//下面是sun.misc.Unsafe.java类源码

* use should be limited to trusted code. Fields can be accessed using
* memory addresses, with undefined behaviour occurring if invalid memory
* addresses are given.
* 这个类提供了一个更底层的操作并且应该在受信任的代码中使用。可以通过内存地址
* 存取fields,如果给出的内存地址是无效的那么会有一个不确定的运行表现。
