<p>A data processing system is claimed which comprises a plurality of processors (12a, 12b, 12c) which communicate data streams with each other via a shared memory (10). The data processing system comprises processor synchronization means (18), for synchronizing the processors (12a-c) when passing the stream of data objects. For that purpose the processors are capable of issuing synchronization commands (Ca-c) to the synchronization means (18). At least one of the processors (12a) comprises a cache memory (184a), and the synchronization means (18) initiate a cache operation (CCa) in response to a synchronization commands (Ca).</p> |
