Abstract
Providing global values may include configuring a global memory to include a global counter and configuring processing cores to have private caches each including two sets of buffers, an update toggle and a read toggle. A processing core having a first private cache may perform processing to read a current value for the global counter including determining the current value of the global counter as a mathematical sum of a local counter value and a local delta value from one of the two sets of buffers of the first private cache identified by the read toggle. The processing core may perform processing to modify the global counter by a first amount by updating the local delta value from a specified one of the two set of buffers of the first private cache identified by the update toggle.
