Abstract
A method and processing apparatus for accelerating program processing is provided that includes a plurality of processors configured to process a plurality of tasks of a program and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, from the plurality of tasks being processed by the plurality of processors, a task being processed on a first processor to be a lagging task causing a delay in execution of one or more other tasks of the plurality of tasks. The controller is further configured to provide the determined lagging task to a second processor to be executed by the second processor to accelerate execution of the lagging task.
