METHOD FOR ENABLING MULTI-PROCESSOR SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

A method for providing at least one sequence of values to a plurality of processors is described. In the method, a sequence generator from one or more sequence generators is associated with a memory location. The sequence generator is configured to generate the at least one sequence of values. One or more read accesses of the memory location are enabled by a processor from the plurality of processors. In response to enabling the read access, the sequence generator is executed so that it returns a first value from the sequence of values to the processor. After executing the sequence generator, the sequence generator is advanced so that the next access generates a second value from the sequence of values. The second value is sequentially subsequent to the first value.
