Abstract
An instruction is included in a program, which instruction causes execution threads of a processor executing the program to determine whether they satisfy a condition which can only be satisfied by a subset of one or more execution threads at any one time. If a thread satisfies the condition, it executes subsequent instructions in the program. Otherwise, the thread sleeps. The subsequent instructions in the program can accordingly be executed by one execution thread subset at a time in serial order.
