Data processing system and memory controller for lock semaphore operations. |
摘要 |
<p>A local processor is connected to one port of a dual port memory controller. A bus having a BURST signal line is connected to the other port. The memory controller controls access to a local memory. A remote processor can perform a semaphore operation on a semaphore stored in the local memory by translating a LOCK signal from the remote processor into a bus BURST signal that is activated for a period allowing the remote processor to read and modify the semaphore. While the semaphore operation is being performed, the local processor can access the local memory. <IMAGE></p> |
