Abstract
A method and apparatus configured to allow independent threads to communicate synchronously through a block of memory accessible to at least two independent threads for bi-directional communication. The method and apparatus simplify the conversion of computer code to a multi-threaded architecture by allowing threads to effectively interact through function calls and data returns.
