Abstract
A processor core of a data processing system receives a push instruction of a sending thread that requests that a message payload identified by at least one operand of the push instruction be pushed to a mailbox of a receiving thread. In response to receiving the push instruction, the processor core executes the push instruction of the sending thread. In response to executing the push instruction, the processor core initiates transmission of the message payload to the mailbox of the receiving thread. In one embodiment, the processor core initiates transmission of the message payload by transmitting a co-processor request to a switch of the data processing system via an interconnect fabric.
