Abstract
The interface for inter-thread communication between a plurality of threads including a number of producer threads for producing data objects and a number of consumer threads for consuming the produced data objects includes a specifier and a provider. The specifier is configured to specify a certain relationship between a certain producer thread of the number of producer threads which is adapted to produce a certain data object and a consumer thread of the number of consumer threads which is adapted to consume the produced certain data object. Further, the provider is configured to provide direct cache line injection of a cache line of the produced certain data object to a cache allocated to the certain consumer thread related to the certain producer thread by the specified certain relationship.
