Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods suitable for optimizing synchronization mechanisms for multi-core processors are provided. The synchronizing mechanisms may be optimized by receiving a command stream which comprises a plurality of commands including one or more wait commands, wherein each wait command has an associated state and one or more associated conditions; sequentially processing each command in the command stream until a wait command is reached; checking the state associated with the wait command to be processed, wherein if said state is a blocking state, further processing of commands in the command stream is paused until each of said wait command's associated conditions are met, and wherein if said state is a non-blocking state, the next command in the command stream is retrieved and processed.
