System and method for dividing and synchronizing a processing task across multiple processing elements/processors in hardware

A system for dividing and synchronizing a processing task across a plurality of processing elements comprising:

• a first processing element having access to a reservation system;
• at least one second processing element in communication with the first processing element;
• the reservation system accessible by both the first processing element and the at least one second processing element, the reservation system comprising a first register and a second register, the second register mirroring the first register, the reservation system configured to determine when a command can be issued to an input queue, wherein access to the second register does not modify available free space in the input queue;
• computer storage storing instructions, which when executed by the second processing element:
• determines, via access of the second register, when there is available space in the input queue for the first processing element to issue the command;
• and
• wherein the first processing element receives notification regarding issuing the command.

A method for dividing and synchronizing a processing task across a plurality of processing elements, comprising:

• detecting, at a first processing element, a command to be issued, the command associated with a second processing element;
• determining if there is available space in an input queue by accessing a first register, the accessing of the first register does not modify available free space in the input queue;
• issuing a reservation for the command responsive to the determining, wherein the reservation is accomplished through accessing a second register, the second register mirroring the first register;
• and
• issuing the command from the second processing element responsive to determining the reservation has issued.
