ABSTRACT:
Present herein is a system and method for arbitration in multi-threaded programming. Task calls are directed to a task wrapper that associates the task call with a particular unique identifier, and stores parameters provided by the task call at memory locations associated with the unique identifier. The execution of the task is handled by a task loop. The task loop queues a plurality of memory portions into a circular queue. The contents of the queue are serially provided to the task, and the results are serially written to the circular queue and provided back to the calling threads.
