Abstract
A system and related method for I/O synchronization in a high integrity multi-core processing environment (MCPE) incorporates logical computing units (LCU) of two or more homogeneous processing cores, each core running a guest operating system (GOS) and user applications such that the homogeneous cores concurrently generate the same output data (which the GOS loads to an I/O synchronization engine (IOSE)) or receive the same output data from the IOSE. The IOSE verifies data integrity by comparing the concurrently received datasets and selects a verified dataset for routing to other cores or externally to the MCPE. The IOSE receives and atomically replicates input data for synchronous transfer to, and consumption by, the user applications running on the cores of the LCU.
