Processing logic and a method to provide single thread access to a specific memory region without suspending processing activity for all other cores and/or threads within or in association with a processor, computer system, or other processing apparatus. Single thread access may be provided through implementation of microcode which may control thread access to model specific registers ("MSRs") within a processor. One MSR may provide a mutex, which a single thread may claim, and another MSR may provide a range of memory locations, which may be accessed by the thread that has claimed the mutex. |
