MWE:

using KernelAbstractions, Atomix, Metal

@kernel function mykernel(result)
    i = @index(Global)
    Atomix.@atomic result[i] = 1
end

result = Metal.zeros(Int, 1)
mykernel(MetalBackend())(result, ndrange=1)
result

The result is

1-element MtlVector{Int64, Metal.PrivateStorage}:
 0

without any errors.

On CUDA, this error is thrown:
