Abstract
A data processing apparatus, and method of operation thereof, for executing instructions. The apparatus includes one or more host processors, each having a first processing unit, and a multi-level memory system. One or more levels of the memory system are tightly coupled to a corresponding second processing unit. At least one of the host processors includes an instruction scheduler that routes instructions selectively to at least one of the first and second processing units, dependent upon the availability of the processing units and the location, within the memory system, of data to be used when executing the instructions.
