Abstract
A system and method to trigger synchronization and validation actions at memory access, in one aspect, identifies a storage class associated with a region of shared memory being accessed by a thread, determines whether the thread holds the storage class and acquires the storage class if the thread does not hold the storage class, identifies a programmable action associated with the storage class and the thread, and triggers the programmable action. One or more storage classes are respectively associated with one or more regions of shared memory. An array of storage classes associated with a thread holds one or more storage classes acquired by the thread. A configurable action table associated with a thread indicates one or more programmable actions associated with a storage class.
