Abstract
A method and a system for block scheduling are disclosed. The method includes retrieving an original block ID, determining a corresponding new block ID from a mapping, executing a new block corresponding to the new block ID, and repeating the retrieving, determining, and executing for each original block ID. The system includes a program memory configured to store multi-block computer programs, an identifier memory configured to store block identifiers (ID's), management hardware configured to retrieve an original block ID from the program memory, scheduling hardware configured to receive the original block ID from the management hardware and determine a new block ID corresponding to the original block ID using a stored mapping, and processing hardware configured to receive the new block ID from the scheduling hardware and execute a new block corresponding to the new block ID.
