| 摘要 |
Certain embodiments of the present invention arc directed to providing efficient and easily-applied mechanisms for inter-core and inter-processor communications and inter-core and inter-processor signaling within multi-core microprocessors and certain multi-processor systems. In one embodiment of the present invention, local advanced programmable interrupt controllers within, or associated with, cores of a multi-core microprocessor and/or processors of a multi-processor system are enhanced so that the local advanced programmable interrupt controllers can be configured to automatically generate inter-core and inter-processor interrupts when WRITE operations are directed to particular regions of shared memory.
