Abstract
Embodiments are described for a method for compiling instruction code for execution in a processor having a number of functional units by determining a thermal constraint of the processor, and defining instruction words comprising both real instructions and one or more no operation (NOP) instructions to be executed by the functional units within a single clock cycle, wherein a number of NOP instructions executed over a number of consecutive clock cycles is configured to prevent exceeding the thermal constraint during execution of the instruction code.
