Summary:A method of operating a processor (201) and coprocessor 203) in an integrated circuit, the method comprising the steps of: the processor (201) providing a series of instructions to the coprocessor (203) via a buffer (202); the coprocessor (203) processing the instructions; and the processor (201) retrieving results of processing the instructions, wherein each of the series of instructions identifies a location in a cache memory (206) for storing the results and the coprocessor (203) provides for each result an indication when the result is available for being retrieved by the processor (201) from the cache memory (206).
