A processor 2 is responsive to a stream of program instructions to issue program instructions under control of scheduling circuitry 6 to respective execution units 24 for execution. The execution units 24 can include error detecting circuitry 32 for detecting a change in an output signal which occurs after the output signal has latched and during an error detecting period following the latching of the output signal. The scheduling circuitry 6 is arranged so as to suppress issue of program instructions to an execution unit 24 having such error detecting circuitry 32 on consecutive processing cycles. |
