One embodiment of the present invention provides a system to facilitate multithreading a computer processor pipeline. The system includes a pipeline that is configured to accept instructions from multiple independent threads of operation, wherein each thread of operation is unrelated to the other threads of operation. This system also includes a control mechanism that is configured to control the pipeline. This control mechanism is statically scheduled to execute multiple threads in round-robin succession. This static scheduling eliminates the need for communication between stages of the pipeline.
