Abstract
In one embodiment, one or more control units may store a position tracker associated with a first window of memory blocks and allow a first processing unit to write data within the first window. The control units may receive, from a second processing unit, a request for reading data with a memory-reading address, compare the memory-reading address to a first starting address of the first window, and prevent the second processing unit from reading the data when the memory-reading address is greater than or equal to the first starting address of the first window. The control units may store, when the data writing process is complete, an updated position tracker of a second window of memory blocks and allow the second processing unit to read the data based on a determination that the memory-reading address is less than a second starting address of the second window.
