Data subscribe-and-publish mechanisms and methods for producer-consumer pre-fetch communications

摘要

A system supporting producer-consumer pre-fetch communications includes a first processor, wherein the first processor is a producer node, and a second processor, wherein the second processor is a consumer node. The system further includes a data subscribe mechanism for performing a data subscribe operation at the consumer node, wherein the data subscribe operation records that a memory address is subscribed at the consumer node, a data publish mechanism for performing a data publish operation at the producer nod; wherein the data publish operation sends data of the memory address from the producer node to the consumer node if the memory address is subscribed at the consumer node, and a communication network coupled to the producer node and the consumer node for enabling communicating between the producer node and the consumer node.
