An inter-processor synchronization method using point-to-point links, comprises the steps of defining a point-to-point synchronization channel between a source processor and a target processor; executing in the source processor a wait command expecting a notification associated with the synchronization channel, wherein the wait command is designed to stop the source processor until the notification is received; executing in the target processor a notification command designed to transmit through the point-to-point link the notification expected by the source processor; executing in the target processor a wait command expecting a notification associated with the synchronization channel, wherein the wait command is designed to stop the target processor until the notification is received; and executing in the source processor a notification command designed to transmit through the point-to-point link the notification expected by the target processor.
