Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a processor to provide a plurality of execution threads, a local memory associated with the processor, and a content-addressable memory associated with the processor. An execution thread of the processor may determine an ordering queue, associate a current thread with a last position in the ordering queue, receive a queue release signal from a previous thread in the ordering queue, and execute a critical code segment associated with the ordering queue.
