Abstract
A computer system comprises a plurality of processes, each having an associated memory region, and a shared memory region shared by the processes. One of the processes is configured to control allocation of space for an array in the shared memory region, generate a descriptor therefor pointing to the allocate space and transmit the descriptor to the other processes. Therafter, all of the processes are configured to identify regions of the array for which they are to process data therein, and to perform predetermined processing operations in connection therewith.
