Abstract
A data processing arrangement comprises a plurality of processors and a memory interface via which the processors can access a collective memory. The memory interface comprises an interface memory (SRAM) for temporarily storing data belonging to different processors. The memory interface also comprises a control circuit for controlling the interface memory in such a manner that it forms a FIFO memory for each of the different processors. This makes to possible to realize implementations at a comparatively low cost in comparison with a memory interface comprising a separate FIFO memory for each processor.
