Abstract
A system for atomically transferring vectors of data from a transmitter of the vectors of data to a receiver of the vectors of data may include a plurality of memory buffers configured to store the vectors of the data, each buffer configured to store one vector of the vectors of data at a time, the plurality of memory buffers comprising at least three memory buffers and a controller for controlling the plurality of memory buffers. The controller may be configured to, responsive to a condition for transferring information represented by the vectors of data to the receiver, determine which of the plurality of buffers from which the receiver may receive most-recently updated information completely written to the plurality of buffers by the transmitter. The controller may further be configured to, responsive to a condition for updating information represented by the vectors of data, determine which of the plurality of buffers for the transmitter to write updated information without blocking atomic receipt by the receiver of information from a most-recently updated buffer.
