Changeset 9475:6f76e7b25361 --------------------------- ruby: Atomic Message Interface Support This patch adds Atomic Message Interfaces to SLICC/Ruby. AMIs look a lot like conventional MessageBuffers, except they guarantee immediate consumption of an enqueued message by the receiving controller, before any other activity. This feature simplifies protocols with co-located controllers where messages and information can be passed between the two, without worrying about unecessary races.
