Communication between tasks running on separate cores by writing data to the target tasks memory

摘要

An array of processing cores runs a set of tasks for a program in parallel. When a task needs to communicate with another task, it writes a message into the memory segment of the receiving task. The cores are connected to the memory segments of the tasks by multiplexers, which allow cores to write data concurrently. The array may use a task specific multiplexer to write to the memory segment and a core specific multiplexer to read from the memory segment. The core may copy a memory image in the memory segment into local memory to execute the task.
