Abstract:
A multiprocessor system includes a plurality of special purpose processors that perform different portions of a related processing task. A set of commands that cause each of the processors to perform the portions of the related task are distributed, and the set of commands includes a predicated execution command that precedes other commands within the set of commands. It is determined whether commands subsequent to the predicated execution command are intended to be executed by a first processor or a second processor based on information in the predicated execution command and the set of commands includes all commands to be executed by each processor.
