<p>The invention is directed towards a multiprocessing system (10) having multiple processing units (34A-D). According to the invention, for at least one of the processing units in the multiprocessing system, a first job signal is assigned to the processing unit for speculative execution of a corresponding first job, and a further job signal is assigned to the processing unit for speculative execution of a corresponding further job. The speculative execution of said further job is initiated when the processing unit has completed execution of the first job. If desirable, even more job signals may be assigned to the processing unit for speculative execution. In this way, multiple job signals are assigned to the processing units (34A-D) of the processing system, and the processing units are allowed to execute a plurality of jobs speculatively while waiting for commit priority. By assigning multiple job signals for speculative execution by one or more processing units, the effects of variations in execution time between jobs are neutralized, and the overall performance of the processing system is substantially improved.</p> |
