A technique for providing concurrent non-blocking access to a circular queue is provided. The concurrent non-blocking circular queue also may be configured such that cache-coherent requesters and a non-cache-coherent requester (e.g., software and hardware) both may concurrently access the queue.

Zusammenfassung:A technique for providing concurrent non-blocking access to a circular queue is provided. The concurrent non-blocking circular queue also may be configured such that cache-coherent requesters and a non-cache-coherent requester (e.g., software and hardware) both may concurrently access the queue. Further, the queue may be configured such that the probability of occurrence of the ABA race condition may be minimized.
