Zusammenfassung:A method for dual-processor communication. In one example embodiment, a method includes indicating to a master processor that data is available to transfer to the master processor; receiving a request for the data from the master processor over a storage-based channel; and sending the data to the master processor over the storage-based channel. In another embodiment a method includes determining that data is available for transfer from a slave processor; sending a request for the data to the slave processor over a storage-based channel; and receiving the data from the slave processor over the storage-based channel. In another embodiment a method includes detecting an event on a master processor and writing data corresponding to the event to a slave processor over a storage-based channel.
