You'll need to use Dekker's algorythm on uncached memory to do any form of inter-cpu synchronisation.
Generating a 'spin lock' is easiest, and, in fact, all the other synchronisation schemes are based on them.

Hi, dsl, thanks for your reply.
However, Deckker's algorithm is kind of 'busy waiting' or 'spin lock' as you said. What I need is some kind of blocking machinism. Just like then recv() in socket programming , it will block the process. In mailbox, we have pend(). And though it seems that the lock() in Mutex is a blocking rountine, as I said before , it can not be used to coordinate processes.:(
