Abstract

A method which includes, in a processor that processes instructions of program code, processing one or more of the instructions by a first hardware thread. Upon detecting that an instruction defined as a parallelization point has been fetched for the first thread, a second hardware thread is invoked to process at least one of the instructions at least partially in parallel with processing of the instructions by the first hardware thread.
