Abstract

A system and method process data elements on multiple processing elements. A first processing element processes a task. A second processing element, coupled to the first processing element, is associated with a task. The first processing element sends a critical-section end signal to the second processing element while processing the task at the first processing element. The second processing element resumes the task in response to receiving the critical-section end signal.
