You've reached the limits of my knowledge of memory hardware. In theory, the 
Independent_Components aspect should ensure that different components can be 
read/written by different tasks independently. But I don't know how/whether 
cache lines get involved (my understanding was that putting the components 
into different words was sufficient). But you could be right (having tried 
this much more than I have). In any case, the compiler is supposed to do the 
right thing when Independent_Components is used.
