Abstract
Software rendering and fine grained parallelism are utilized to reduce/avoid memory latency in a multi-processor (MP) system. According to one embodiment, the management of the transfer of data from one processor to another in the MP environment is moved into a low overhead hardware system. The low overhead hardware system may be a FIFO ('First In First Out') hardware control. Each FIFO may be real or virtual.
