Summary: | In a data processing system that includes several ongoing processes that produce words such as commands for temporary storage in a buffer, a buffer manager that controls the words input by the processes to the buffer. The manager includes apparatus for regulating the number of words from an executing first process for loading into the buffer, for loading a synchronisation word when a second process is to be executed and for halting the loading of words from a first process and providing for loading words from a second process when the synchronisation word is accessed by the subsequently executing processor. |
