Abstract
Communication among processors having differing operating speeds by providing wake queues in which slower processors can queue entries, access to which by multiple concurrent producers and multiple concurrent consumers is synchronized or controlled using global registers. When a faster processor executes a kernel process for handling a wake queue, an entry is fetched from the wake queue and information stored in the entry is used to process the entry.
