Abstract
In an example, there is disclosed a digital signal processor having a register containing a modular integer configured for use as a thread offset counter. In a multi-stage, pipelined loop, which may be implemented in microcode, the main body of the loop has only one repeating stage. On each stage, the operation executed by each thread of the single repeating stage is identified by the sum of a fixed integer and the thread offset counter. After each pass through the loop, the thread offset counter is incremented, thus maintaining pipelined operation of the single repeating stage.
