Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing execution of program code for an integrated circuit device having multiple concurrently operating execution engines, where the operation of one execution engine may be dependent on the operation of another execution engine. Data or resource dependencies may be accommodated with a Set instruction to cause a first execution engine to set a register value and a Wait instruction to cause a second execution engine to wait for a condition associate with the register value. Concurrently operation of the execution engines may thus be synchronized.
