Abstract

See full text

A multi-processor system includes memory and at least two central processing units (CPUs) that may execute different threads of computation of a same task at the same time. CPU-specific data is segregated from shared task information of different threads of computation of the task. In particular, the shared task information is placed in memory locations of the memory that are directly addressable by both CPUs, and CPU-specific data are placed in memory locations that are directly addressable by only the associated CPU. No additional hardware is needed, and the memory and run-time costs of the invention are miniscule.
