Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a system for controlling program execution. The system comprises an event-based core controller including a set of state-preserving elements. The core controller starts and stops the program execution based on one or more control signals. For each instruction of the program, the core controller triggers a target component to execute the instruction by generating and sending an instruction and/or a trigger pulse to the target component.
