Abstract
In a computer system, a memory is allocated to a plurality of ports. The ports are arranged in a spatial ordering. A plurality of various sized data items are temporally ordered in each of the plurality of ports. Each data item includes a time-stamp to indicate the temporal ordering of the plurality of data items. The plurality of data items are atomically accessed by a plurality of threads using space and time coordinates. The space and time coordinates uniquely identify each of the plurality of data items.
