Abstract
A plurality of processing units, each having a local memory connected thereto is disclosed. A write sense controller is also connected to each of the processing units to transmit a memory write word into a shared portion of local memory over a reflective memory line. Other write sense controllers receive the memory words from the reflective memory bus and cause them to be written into corresponding storage locations in the shared partitions of their local memories.
