Abstract
The present disclosure provides for processing units, which are capable of concurrently executing instructions, and a source arbitrator. The source arbitrator determines whether instructions for the processing units are read from different sources. If the source arbitrator determines that each processing unit reads its respective instruction from a different source, then the instructions from the various sources are provided to their corresponding processing units for substantially concurrent processing.
