Synchronization and concurrent execution of control flow and data flow at task level

摘要

A processor system for executing at least one application, wherein the at least one application comprises a plurality of tasks, where at least two of these plurality of tasks are executed in parallel by the processor system. A control flow means (110) is used for executing control flow information. A data flow means (130) executes the plurality of tasks. This data flow means comprises a plurality of processing elements (140) that are capable of processing the tasks. The system further comprises a synchronization means (120) for controlling the execution of the tasks by these processing elements. The synchronization means may determine an order of execution of the provided or identified tasks in that it identifies and resolves data dependencies (123) between input data and output data of the tasks, and then maps the tasks to the processing elements by specifying on which of the plurality of processing elements task is to be executed.
