More Information
Summary:There is provided a Cluster Controller, CC, configured to control memory access by a cluster of multiple processing units or processing elements, PEs, to a common Cluster Memory, CM, shared by the processing elements within the cluster. The Cluster Controller is configured to receive requests, referred to as cluster broadcast requests, from at least a subset of the multiple processing elements within the cluster for broadcasting of data from the common cluster memory to said at least a subset of the multiple processing elements. The Cluster Controller is configured to initiate broadcasting of data in response to the received cluster broadcast requests only after broadcast requests have been received from all processing elements of said at least a subset of said multiple processing elements that are participating in the broadcast.
