Abstract
Parallel processing is performed by determining sequential ordering of tasks for processing, assigning priorities to the tasks available on the basis of the sequential ordering, selecting a number of tasks greater than a total number of available parallel processing elements from all available tasks having the highest priorities, partitioning the selected tasks into a number of groups equal to the available number of parallel processing elements, and executing the tasks in the parallel processing elements.
