<p>Methods, systems and devices are described for semaphore control of a shared-memory cluster. A method, includes writing at least one pointer to a semaphore region of a shared memory region that is coupled to a plurality of processing nodes. The at least one pointer points to at least one of the plurality of processing nodes, the at least one pointer i) indicating that a portion of the shared memory node is dedicated to reading by the at least one of the plurality of processing nodes and ii) protecting access to the portion of the shared memory node until the portion of the shared memory node has been read by the at least one of the plurality of processing nodes. The methods, systems and devices provide advantages because the speed and scalability of parallel processor systems is enhanced.</p> |
