  • Patent number: 8250580
    Abstract: A multi-core SOC synchronization component comprises a key administration module, a thread schedule unit supporting data synchronization and thread administration, and an expansion unit serving to expand the memory capacity of the key administration module. The key administration module stores, distributes and manages keys. When the key is assigned to a data synchronization process, the key administration module supports the data synchronization process. When the key is assigned to a thread process, the thread schedule unit performs thread administration. The expansion unit is coupled to an external memory and able to expand the memory of the key administration module. When the keys are expanded or the internal memory is insufficient, the keys are stored in the external memory.
