Abstract
A method and system for constructing a program are provided. According to the method, each of a plurality of instructions are assigned to at least one of a plurality of threads. The plurality of threads include first, second, and third threads, where the third thread follows the first thread and precedes the second thread in a logical program order. A data structure associated with the first thread is then constructed. The data structure includes an indication that execution of the second thread is to be initiated prior to initiation of execution of the third thread. According to one embodiment, the indication within the data structure is a pointer that specifies a second data structure associated with the second thread.
