That reminds me a lot of the xmos xcore mcus with 8 cores. I am curious what kind of synchronization primitives have you added and why?

Sounds like the Parallax Propeller 1/2 as well.

It's a good model for MCU stuff. There were people pushing Chip Gracey (Parallax) to use RISC-V instead of his custom ISA when he designed the P2 a few years ago, but he chose to do his own thing. Which has made compiler development difficult.
