Theswap(int*a, int*b)function utilizes two pointers, which store the memory addresses of two integers. Thus, it has the capability to [1] reserve a duplicate of the initial integer, [2] replicate the second integer in the memory location previously occupied by the first integer, and [3]...
1. A method of context swapping in a multitasking operating system for a processor, comprising: providing a plurality of context blocks for storing context information for a plurality of processes; providing an array of pointers to the context blocks, wherein each of the pointers points to one ...
determining that all messages referencing the buffer have been queued, allocating a new buffer and performing a swap of the oldest in-use buffer and the new buffer, performing a free message block operation and updating a message block by updating a set of read and write pointers to point to...
element. The completion queue element contains sufficient information to determine the queue pair and specific work queue element that completed. A completion queue context is a block of information that contains pointers to, length, and other information needed to manage the individual completion ...
Table, the more natural way to swap references is to overwrite the entry pointers in a coordinated fashion. Several distributed systems have examined ways to dynamically configure the location of components, requiring much of the same support. One such distributed system is disclosed in “A ...
