A command is received from a first agent via a first predetermined memory-mapped register, the first agent being one of multiple agents representing software processes, each being executed by one of processor cores of a network processor in a network element. A first queue associated with the command is identified based on the first predetermined memory-mapped register. A pointer is atomically read from a first hardware-based queue state register associated with the first queue. Data is atomically accessed at a memory location of the memory based on the pointer. The pointer stored in the first hardware-based queue state register is atomically updated, including incrementing the pointer of the first hardware-based queue state register, reading a queue size of the queue from a first hardware-based configuration register associated with the first queue, and wrapping around the pointer if the pointer reaches an end of the first queue based on the queue size.
