Messaging Queue Delegate System for Scalable Inter-Processor Communication

The patent introduces message queues as an intermediary mechanism between processors. Instead of direct shared memory access or interrupt-based communication, processors communicate by placing messages in queues. The queue management system acts as a mediator that handles message routing, notification, and processor wake-up events, eliminating the need for expensive shared memory hardware and complex interrupt handling while improving communication efficiency and scalability.

The patent segments the communication system into independent message queues, each associated with specific processors or processing units. This segmentation allows the system to scale to a large number of processors by organizing communication channels in a modular fashion. Each queue operates independently, managing messages for specific processor groups, which eliminates the bottleneck of shared-bus arbitration and enables the system to support many more processors than traditional shared-bus architectures.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where message queues automatically generate notification events when messages are available. Instead of processors continuously polling to check for messages, the system provides feedback by setting notification bits or generating events that wake up processors when messages arrive. This event-driven feedback approach eliminates wasteful continuous polling while ensuring reliable message detection, significantly reducing energy consumption in multi-processor systems.
