Abstract
A multi-processor system with a portion of content-addressable memory (CAM) configured as a tuple space to control data flow between processing element. A writing processor may write to a tuple space followed by a reading processor reading from the tuple space. However the system may control access to the tuple space so that no read operations may be performed for a particular tuple space before that space is written to. Further, no write operations may be performed to the tuple space prior to previous written data being read from the tuple space. A processor wishing to use the tuple space before being permitted to do so may be stalled, thus controlling data flow between operating processors.
