Abstract

An apparatus comprises address storage circuitry to store indications of a first set of memory locations of a shared memory; a capacity indicator to indicate whether a capacity of the address storage circuitry has been reached, and monitoring circuitry to monitor the first set of memory locations and a second set of memory locations of the shared memory, identified in further storage circuitry to identify whether data stored at either set of memory locations has been modified. The monitoring circuitry is responsive to determining that the data has been modified to generate an indication that the data has been modified, and processing circuitry receives the indication and executes a monitor-address instruction specifying an address of a new memory location in the shared memory to update the address storage circuitry or the further storage circuitry to indicate the new address, depending on the capacity indicator.
