Abstract
A multithreaded data processing system performs processing using resource circuitry which is a finite resource. A saturation signal is generated to indicate when the resource circuitry is no longer able to perform processing operations issued to it. This saturations signal may be used to select a scheduling algorithm to be used for further scheduling, such as switching to scheduling from a single thread as opposed to round-robin scheduling from all of the threads. Re-execution queue circuitry is used to queue processing operations which have been enabled to be issued so as to permit other processing operations which may not be blocked by the lack of use of circuitry to attempt issue.
