System and method for synchronizing processor instruction execution

摘要

A system and method for controlling processor instruction execution. In one example, a method for synchronizing a number of instructions performed by processors includes instructing a first processor to iteratively execute instructions via a first set of iterations until a predetermined time period has elapsed. A number of instructions executed in each iteration of the first set of iterations is less than a number of instructions executed in a prior iteration of the first set of iterations. The method also includes instructing a second processor to iteratively execute instructions via a second set of iterations until the predetermined time period has elapsed. A number of instructions executed in each iteration of the second set of iterations is less than a number of instructions executed in a prior iteration of the second set of iterations. The method includes determining whether additional instructions are to be executed.

1. A method for synchronizing a number of instructions performed by a plurality of processors, comprising:
instructing a first processor to iteratively execute instructions via a first plurality of iterations until a predetermined time period has elapsed, wherein a number of instructions executed in each iteration of the first plurality of iterations is less than a number of instructions executed in a prior iteration of the first plurality of iterations; instructing a second processor synchronized with the first processor to iteratively execute instructions via a second plurality of iterations until the predetermined time period has elapsed, wherein a number of instructions executed in each iteration of the second plurality of iterations is less than a number of instructions executed in a prior iteration of the second plurality of iterations; determining a first total number of instructions executed by the first processor during the predetermined time period; determining a second total number of instructions executed by the second processor during the predetermined time period; instructing the second processor to execute a first calculated number of instructions if the second total number of instructions is less than the first total number of instructions; and instructing the first processor to execute a second calculated number of instructions if the first total number of instructions is less than the second total number of instructions.
