Programmable priority for concurrent multi-threaded processors

摘要

A first thread processor of a multi-thread processor system is operable to execute a first process, and a second thread processor of the multi-thread processor system is operable to execute a second process. A control register is operable to store priority information that is individually associated with at least one of the first thread processor and the second thread processor. The priority information identifies a prioritization of the first thread processor and/or a restriction on the second thread processor in a use of a shared hardware resource during execution of at least one of the first process and the second process.
