A data processing system can comprise a first module having a workspace and configured to execute a task that can request access to a frame in a system memory, a queue manager configured to store a frame descriptor which identifies the frame in the system memory, and a memory access engine coupled to the first module and the queue manager. The memory access engine copies requested segments of the frame to the workspace and has a working frame unit to store a segment handle identifying a location and size of each requested segment copied to the workspace of the first module. The memory access engine tracks history of a requested segment by updating the working frame unit when the requested segment in the workspace is modified by the executing task.

A data processing system includes a processor core and a hardware module. The processor core performs tasks on data packets. The ordering scope manager stores a first value in a first storage location. The first value indicates that exclusive execution of a first task in a first ordering scope is enabled. In response to a relinquish indicator being received, the ordering scope manager stores a second value in the first storage location. The second value indicates that the exclusively execution of the first task in the first ordering scope is disabled.
