Abstract: A computer device with synchronization barrier including a memory and a processing unit capable of multiprocess processing on various processors and enabling the parallel execution of blocks by processes, the blocks being associated by groups in successive work steps. The device further includes a hardware circuit with a usable address space to the memory, capable of receiving a call from each process indicating the end of execution of a current block, each call comprising data. The hardware circuit is arranged to authorize the execution of blocks of a later work step when all the blocks of the current work step have been executed. The accessibility to the address space is achieved by segments drawn from the data of each call.
