Abstract
A multiprocessor system or a system of hardware accelerators is provided to reduce cache ping-ponging and to provide improved single producer single consumer (SPSC) queues and methods. The systems are configured for specifying separate cache attributes for inner (e.g., local) cache and outer (e.g., shared) cache for promoting lower system overhead. Separate cache attributes are specified such that shared variables are cacheable only in a cache level shared by multiple processors.
