....is connected to a SIMD machine like the CM 2, synchronization is easily handled by the global instruction sequencing hardware. In this case, the price is the lack of generality of SIMD designs. Instead of distributed control, the frame buffer in the JMachine uses a centralized video controller [16]. Thus synchronization between processing elements message driven processors (MDPs) and the frame buffer is handled by the video controller. The MDPs halt at a barrier synchronization until they receive a notice from the video controller. A companion paper [20] reports our evaluations of ....
