Abstract
A microprocessor includes a plurality of processing cores and an uncore random access memory (RAM) readable and writable by each of the plurality of processing cores. Each core of the plurality of processing cores comprises microcode run by the core that implements architectural instructions of an instruction set architecture of the microprocessor. The microcode is configured to both read and write the uncore RAM to accomplish inter-core communication between the plurality of processing cores.
