Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques for processor synchronization are described. A described system includes exclusion monitor circuitry, a content addressable memory (CAM) coupled with the exclusion monitor circuitry, and processors coupled with the exclusion monitor circuitry. The processors can perform synchronization via the exclusion monitor circuitry using an identifier tag. The exclusion monitor circuitry can utilize the CAM to store information for handling one or more named mutual exclusions. The exclusion monitor circuitry and the CAM can be configured to concurrently handle multiple identifier tags that correspond to different mutual exclusions.
