Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor, configured to designate a memory region in a memory, and to issue (i) memory-access commands for accessing the memory and (ii) a conditional-fence command associated with the designated memory region. Memory-Access Control Circuitry (MACC) is configured, in response to identifying the conditional-fence command, to allow execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses within the designated memory region, and to defer the execution of the memory-access commands that access addresses outside the designated memory region, until completion of all the memory-access commands that were issued before the conditional-fence command.
