System and method for the execution of instructions from an auxiliary data stream in a parallel processing system are presented. The data processing system includes a program sequencer, an array processor and data input/output logic. Rather than increasing the program memory size to accommodate the most extreme application requirements, a method has been invented for executing from an auxiliary data stream via an "expansion interface". Specifically, program instructions are stored within and provided from the system's frame buffer. An additional data stream, consisting of program sequencer instructions, is added to the memory controller capabilities. During execution from the expansion interface, the sequencing logic of the program sequencer receives and executes instructions from this auxiliary data stream in lieu of execution from the program memory.
