1. A method for configuring a memory unit of a computing unit, the method comprising:
creating, during a program operation of the computing unit, a memory area shared among a plurality of processes;
configuring the memory area in the memory unit to have a current configuration including:
assigning a memory area address to the memory area,
configuring, in the memory area, a data area to store at least one datum, and
defining at least one configuration information element of the data area, the at least one configuration information element based on the at least one datum; and
updating a revision number that characterizes the current configuration of the memory area; and
accessing the data area to access the at least one datum with at least two different processes of the plurality of processes,
wherein the at least one configuration information element of the data area is at least one of (i) a name of the at least one datum stored in the data area, (ii) a size of the at least one datum stored in the data area, and (iii) a type of at least one datum stored in the data area.
