XPS Mutex
Overview
In a multi processor environment the processors share common resources. The mutex provides a mechanism for mutual exclusion to enable one process to gain exclusive access to a particular resource. XPS Mutex core contains a configurable number of mutexes. Each of these can be associated with a 32-bit User configuration register to store arbitrary data.
