A method for passing data from a first processing thread to a second processing thread, wherein the first processing thread produces data to be processed by the second processing thread. The data from the first processing thread may be inserted into objects that in turn are inserted into a queue of objects to be processed by the second thread. The queue may be a circular array, wherein the array includes a pointer to a head and a pointer to a tail, wherein only the first processing thread modifies the tail pointer and only the second processing thread modifies the head pointer.
