Abstract
A hardware thread scheduler (HTS) is provided for a multiprocessor system. The HTS is configured to schedule processing of multiple threads of execution by resolving data dependencies between producer modules and consumer modules for each thread. Pattern adaptors may be provided in the scheduler that allows mixing of multiple data patterns across blocks of data. Transaction aggregators may be provided that allow re-using the same image data by multiple threads of execution while the image date remains in a given data buffer. Bandwidth control may be provided using programmable delays on initiation of thread execution. Failure and hang detection may be provided using multiple watchdog timers.
