Abstract:
In a multi-threaded processor, thread priority variables are set up in memory. According to an embodiment of the present invention, several conditions are monitored so as to determine an indication of instruction side starvation may be approaching. If such starvation is approaching, the starvation is resolved upon the expiration of a threshold counter or the like.
