Abstract

Multiple processors are enabled to regulate their work within sections of a machine instruction sequence by storing status information about the state of execution of the parallel regions by the processors, and including, in the machine instruction sequence, parallel control instructions which enable each processor to proceed from section to section on the basis of the status information, without interrupting the execution of the machine instruction sequence.
