 \begin{commentary}
 Software can use the PAUSE instruction to reduce energy consumption while
 executing spin-wait code sequences.  Multithreaded cores might temporarily
 relinquish execution resources to other harts when PAUSE is executed.
+It is recommended that a PAUSE instruction generally be included in the code
+sequence for a spin-wait loop.
 
 A future extension might add primitives similar to the x86 MONITOR/MWAIT
 instructions, which provide a more efficient mechanism to wait on writes to

 PAUSE is encoded as a FENCE instruction with {\em pred}=W and {\em succ}=0.

 memory transactions have completed.
 Because the successor set is null, however, PAUSE does not {\em mandate} any
 particular memory ordering---hence, it truly is a HINT.
