Abstract
A system is disclosed that includes a plurality of processors, which in some embodiments include DSPs and other microprocessors, and a distributed uniform memory. The distributed uniform memory is subdivided into a plurality of addressable memory spaces each of which are respectively primarily associated with one of the processors in the plurality of processors. At least an addressably contiguous portion of the addressable memory space primarily associated with one processor is mapped into the addressable memory space primarily associated with another processor. Thus, a processor will have access to the addressable memory space primarily associated with another processor, but will have such access independent of the load and timing requirements of the other processors.
